As for lasaga gardening, it's the greatest! I wish I had the patience to do the minimum 18" recommended by Patricia Lanza in her book (as well as the funds to buy all the recommended items), and I'm mighty impressed with anyone who would do 3'!! But I've had success doing the minimum as well. The garden on the left was simply newspapers, kitchen scraps, manure, and topsoil - I did it three years ago. The "soil" underneath was hard pan - I had tried to use my rototiller and it about threw me backwards!

Forgot to include straw, grass clippings, and ashes from the wood-burning stove.
