Heuer Fri, 03 Aug 2007 20:18:15 +0000 http://site.cleanairgardening.com/info/no-till-gardening.html#comment-1263 I have used this method for a flower bed in the past and it worked fine but it was done per instructions in a book on Lasegna Gardening by Patricia Lanza wich includes organic tips too. My garden is a permanent fixture in my yard and continues to do fine after four years. In the book though it says to lay down 26 layers of newspapers diredtly onto the ground and develop layers of grass clippings, leaves, compost, fresh compost material , whatever you can find and mound these layers to a height of 6 inches and place your plants directly into these layers. Another method I have used for a no till garden is a raised garden using landscaping timbers and also one using decking boards for garden frames. Making these frames no more that four feet wide a person should be able to reach inward two feet from both sides. I like raised bed gardens because these methods gives us total control of what materials are placed into the frame for growing matter and ph. I have a raspberrypatch that is five years old in a raised garden and it is producing great although I do have to walk down center for picking of berries.
