Lasagna Gardening for Small Spaces: a Layering System for Big Results in Small Gardens and Containers. - book review

Science News, May 4, 2002

PATRICIA LANZA

With no digging, tilling, or weeding required, lasagna gardening is a perfect solution for children learning how to grow plants and for people too busy or physically unable to do a lot of upkeep. Lanza's layered gardening system is inspired by the way plants naturally receive nutrition, through the conversion of organic waste into plant food. All you need to start a lasagna garden is newspaper, compost, peat moss, and chopped leaves. Then, you just need to pick the right plants. After explaining how a lasagna garden works, Lanza devotes the rest of the book to profiling plants that work best in that setting. Rodale, 2002, 288, b&w illus., paperback, $15.95.
