Destiny Survival

You don’t have to wait to prepare your soil for this spring’s garden.  Lasagna Gardening, by Patricia Lanza, explains step by step how to use a system of layered mulch materials, including newspaper, leaves, and grass clippings, to provide a nutrient-rich base for healthy gardens and bountiful flowers, herbs, vegetables, and fruits.

            According to Amazon.com reviews, Lasagna Gardening is an enjoyable, easy to read  book for beginner and veteran gardeners alike.  The concept of using various materials for mulching isn’t new.  In fact, the book isn’t new.  However, if you’re a new gardener, or simply want to know more about recycling those old newspapers in a constructive way, this is the book for you.

            There are tremendous benefits to mulching.  It cuts down the amount of weeds and preserves soil moisture.  That means less work and watering.  Soil temperatures aren’t as prone to fluctuations.  In hot weather soil will be cooler, which is better for plant roots.  Mulching adds organic material to the soil and encourages growth of friendly microbial life.  That means using less fertilizer, or possibly none at all.  Many of us who garden know the experience of lifting a mulch cover to find a few soil friendly earthworms.  You want to give your plants every possible advantage, and Lasagna Gardening gives you knowledge to do that.
