Answer 1

Is a lasagna garden like the trees that grow spaghetti in the old TV commercials? they were pretty good.

Answer 2

I have heard of layering soils but haven’t heard it called. Lasagna gardening. Thanks for the post I now have something new to research. If you guys keep all these great posts I’ll never have time a free minute to just chill. I keep add projects. Like a greenhouse so I can grow my own the Vanilla orchids or setting up Strahl Bales four a garden and now I’m going to be researching lasagna gardening I’m sure it will go on my project list to. Lol

Answer 3

A friend explained it to me. He uses cardboard, human hair (he does a deal with several hairdressers and gets free haircuts as well), straw, wood mulch, manure, grass clippings. I think he said he once got some woollen carpet and natural underlay and used that. I don't see why you couldn't use cotton and woollen clothing, hessian and any other biodegradable material.

Answer 4

I think my straw bale garden is sort of a variety of your lasagna garden, except it does not need a frame around it. Where is Glacier County? What zone are you in? My garden is zone 5.5 , the ,5 is curtesy of Lake Ontario which is only four miles north and acts as a huge heat sink. Do you know what you are going to grow?
