My First No Dig Vegetable Garden Part 1

This is just like "lasagna gardening" - there's a book about it. But you don't need the tar paper

i tried lasagna gardening and now i have gras growining up through what is supposed to be my vegetable garden bed. Can you tell me what did i do wrong?

No , but the same thing happened to me!

IMHO the way to go is 1 graze or mow grass really short, 2 if you are inorganic , spray it, 3 get spade/.shovel an remove top 3inches , pile it up an leave it foor 2or 3 years . 4 dig over plot with fork , incorporating compost, 5 after planting veg , hoe all weeds until midsummer, then cover with a mulch of old hay lawn clippings dead leaves , wheat straw or whatever. Getting good soil takes MORE THAN ONE YEAR!

i know i didnt need the tar paper i used it because it was there and i figure it would be good to keeping weeds out

great idea that i want to try. thanks for the video. next year i hope you remove the tar paper as the toxins from that product are most likely being absorbed into the roots of your plants and therefore into your veggies and into you. not good for your body!

thanks i did take the tar paper up when i clean up the garden for the season

can you use pine straw instead of, or in combo. with hay? We live in a pine forest. Thanks

this is a great garden i love the song too

I like the groovy song you chose (could you tell me the name of the artist?) as well as your lovely garden. I'm in the process of planning my no dig raised vegetable garden
