Are you tired of working with crummy soil? Tired of tilling and weeding? Try lasagna gardening! It differs from traditional gardening approaches by building up layers of organic material, which creates a soil mixture that is incredibly rich in nutrients and poor in weed seeds. We will show you how to build your own soil and explain the reason for each layer. Includes a tour of the on-site lasagna garden. Instructor: Micha Kornblum
