No-Dig Garden – also called a layer garden

Sometimes called a lasagna garden or a layer garden, a no-dig garden is a quick way to build soil and start a vegetable patch.  Digging is a lot harder and instead of using heavy garden tools, layer.  Work with nature to disturb the soil as little as possible.  No-dig is helpful for weed management and ensure that the soil does not get compacted.

Plenty of organic matter is put on top of the soil which provides mulching.  The result is fertile soil that has not been disturbed, letting nature take its course.
