Lasagne sounds like dinner with garlic bread! Can you describe it?

There is a book, but it basically is a no till method of amending and working the earth. You put a thick layer of wet newspapers down first (On top of grass). For potatoes add the seed potatoes and cover with straw. No digging just lift the straw when you want to steal a “new potatoes”

For other things add layers of kitchen waste, grass clippings, shredded paper, compost, manure, old sawdust, between layers of peat or any other organic material. You don’t have to plow etc. Just add plants, mulching with wet newpapers to keep the weeds down. (no hoeing) Add more material each year....My yellow clay is about a foot down now on original beds.

Now is the time of year to put the wet papers down on the wet grass to create new beds.....Add any material thoughout the winter with first grass clippings and peat on top for next spring.

I’m also preparing my pea bed....Will sow them Feb 1st in snow or not......Just sprinkle seeds thickly in a wide trench and cover with a half inch or so of warm dirt.(you’ve kept in basement or garage.)
