It is amazing how nature looks after itself, and heals whatever needs healing, isn't it? We all fall short in regards to stopping, and taking a step back from time to time, to see that many times, a simple solution may very well be the best. This is true in regards to composting. I am one who never took the time to see the benefits it supplies. All from nature. I haven't tried a lasagna garden, but I'm sure we will! Thanks to you, and many just like you, you guys have opened my eyes for sure, in regards to a number of things! We appreciate your tips in regards to our tomatoes versus the cardinals! Thanks for coming in to see us, and God Bless. Feel free to drop in anytime...the door's always open! D&D Good morning Dede!

I learned it a few years ago. A lady by the name of Ruth Stout "discovered" it a number of years ago. She realized as she got older she was not going to be able to continue on and on with incorporating compost into her garden. Then she noticed nature -- something we don't do that well, unless you've been living there and watching for a while. She realized that no one's been composting things in nature -- in a forest, etc. No, what happens is that leaves fall, wind blows, etc., and "compost" happens naturally. So she just started layering things in her garden -- straw to keep the ground cool and retain moisture, etc. She just let time and nature take it's course. And there I'd been killing my back for several years, wondering how I was going to keep that up as I got older. It's all going to break down any way. Oh -- and for those birds that love your tomatoes?? (Cardinals! Oh how I love them, how they decimate my tomato crops!) Hang red Christmas ball ornaments on your tomato plants! They get attracted to their reflections - it does help some! Welcome to composting — and I think you’ll like “lasagna” gardening … I learned it a few years ago.
