10:30 - 11:00 Gardening the “EASY” way. Weed free gardening.
Weed free gardening. Many of you have heard about "lasagna" gardening—layer, layer, layer. In Nature the soil is never bare unless the soil has been disturbed by man. The weeds protect the soil from drying, washing or blowing away. The soil is the base of our gardens. A good base is what is needed to create healthy, happy plants. This method of gardening creates a happy soil and healthy plants with almost immediate results. And one will find the soil of such optimum health within a few years that no additives will be needed. That results in fewer costs all around.
