Remember my lazy version of the late to the game lasagna garden I created?
Well, it's been two months. Nothing is really planted in it yet (soon. I think. I hope.), but the soil is absolutely gorgeous. Black, full of worms, and healthy looking. Luscious almost. A girl could get spoiled by this kind of dirt.
Also, as you can see, I'm incredibly easy to buy a present for. If it contains dirt, worms, or chicken poop, I'm a happy girl.

I am a believer in lasagna gardening. Less than 45 minutes of work for amazing healthy soil? I couldn't haul and spread bags of compost in 45 minutes and get those same results.
