On Tuesday, April 28th, a group of us met with a group of volunteers from Marygrove College in Detroit to help them build the frame for their first lasagna garden. A lasagna garden is a raised bed garden full of layers of organic matter that grow huge vegetables with little watering or weeding (for more details see our Lasagna gardening page). Marygrove is currently clearing out dead ash trees, so there was an abundant supply of wood. The wood was cut to fit a 4 X 6 garden. We stacked the logs on top of each other and put stakes in the ground to hold the logs in place. We'll return in a couple of weeks to fill the garden and help plant the plants. Martha is jumping over the finished garden, below.
For a video showing the pounding of the final stake (and to hear Delphine's fine singing voice), see below...
