How to turn a lawn into garden bed USING WASTE 🪴 How to Lasagna Garden (Lawn Removal Part 2)

Learn how to lasagna garden, or how to turn a lawn into garden bed USING WASTE!
Lasagna gardening is a compost-in-place method that simultaneously improves soil, and creates a new garden bed without digging, tilling, spraying, or using any large equipment… AND it uses compostable waste materials you likely already have on hand.
Surprisingly, there is also some lasagna gardening controversy… are great strategies for smothering weeds and lawns to create either a mulched area or a new garden bed.

You can adapt these methods for large areas or small areas, to add a little or a lot nutrients to the soil, or to mostly just prevent weeds. You can even use them to repair existing garden beds that have been taken over by weeds. Also, these methods all create an opportunity to turn organic waste materials into healthy soil, all onsite, and pretty easily.

I’ll share information and considerations along the way so you can decide what is best for you and your yard. Because I think that’s the biggest problem: not every gardening method applies in every context. I’m here to share resources, but it’s ultimately up to you to decide what is best for you and your yard.
