Lasagna Gardening

Here is the finished part for my Garlic. Since I have 3 garden boxes I decided to use one for Garlic. I didn't use the lasagna approach on this box because I want the garlic roots to come up and not be snuffed out by the newspaper.

I finally finished all 3 boxes and My lil man got excited! 

Ladybug! Woohoo, I hope they stay around and help out my garden in the Spring and Summer. 

After I cleaned out the garden I realized I had TONS of Tomato stakes. 

First layer!! Newspaper that I got for free! hehe (all about free) And no I didn't steal it haha

You are suppose to wet the newspaper as well to start the decomposition. 

Then I layered it with leaves. 

Magic Ingredient! Eggshells. They give calcium for the soil. Note: Let the eggshells dry out for two weeks in the frig so they will dry out and crush really easily. 

I will add more layers as the months go by to build it up. I have seen some people use dirt to put in the mix as well but I have decided to try not use things that cost money hehe
