Video - Building A Lasagna Garden Bed

This quick video demonstrates the basics of building a lasagna garden bed. It's pretty simple - you just have to make sure you have collected enough materials to make your bed. You want it to be at least a foot and a half to 2 feet high when finished, as it is going to "cook" down to about 6 inches when ready to plant. The best time to build a lasagna garden bed is in the fall, so it can cook down over the winter and be ready to plant in the spring. But if you want to plant in it right away, just be sure there is quite a bit of compost close to the surface of the bed, so there will already be a place to plant your plants.

The book listed below the video is a great resource for how and what to grow in a lasagna garden.
