Lasagna Garden

Even at 8:00 a.m. it’s so sizzling steamy the camera must become acustomed to the air before I can take a picture.

Phlox ‘David’ is one of my favorite plants.

Sadly the air is not the only thing steaming around here. Next time you pray for world peace, please include my warring daughters in your petitions. I love them both. – Here’s where I transition back to gardening. – I also love caladium and squash. I planned the caladium, but the squash were a happy accident. – In case you’re wondering, the analogy ended at “I love them both” – back to gardening – this is my lasagna garden.

The fountain grass (Pennisetum ‘Fireworks’) is in a pot, and the caladium ‘White Queen’ is in the lasagna garden.

A lasagna garden has nothing to do with the popular casserole. Author Patricia Lanza coined the term in her book “Lasagna Gardening”. It is layering different organic materials on top of the soil and planting in the layers. It doesn’t require any digging, so when my tiller wouldn’t start this spring, I thought it was the perfect time to give it a try. First, I sprinkled lime and fertilizer according to my soil test, then I added 2 to 4 inch layers of each of these in this order: my youngest compost pile, my leaf pile, my finished compost, peat moss, cow manure and soil conditioner. There’s a lot of flexibility in the layers. Use what you have. The finished garden is basically a low temperature sheet composter that will shrink down as it decomposes. As you can see, things are growing well in the lasagna garden. As I said before, I planted a box of caladium bulbs, but the squash were unplanned, growing out of the unfinished compost. I meant to move them to the bee yard, but I never got around to it, and now they’re so big I don’t think I can successfully transplant them. I hope the caladium and the squash can just get along.
