Texas Gardening: Check out the no-dig garden!, 0 by LouC

If you do a search on DG you will find several threads about this style of "no dig", or sometimes called Lasagna Gardening. We were forced to take out a mature tree last winter that had a large bed of monkey grass around the trunk. This left us with quite a hole in our landscaping plus how to get rid of the stump and MG.

Decided to try the lasagna method. We now have a veggie garden in this spot.
18'x21'x20". The garden looks beautiful but am afraid we planted a little soon as we wound up with way too much nitrogen. Hence, fantastic foliage without a lot of fruit. Still think it is the best thing since sliced bread. Vegetable gardens are far more difficult than flower,IMHO. It is expected to produce more than just a pretty plant. We may have had some of the same problems had we done the bed the old fashioned way. We are looking forward to turning everything under and preparing for the next planting. Will never go back to the old way. Have no place for a compost bed and this satisfies that need as well.

Good luck

Going to go look for the best directions.
