Today Miss Chris gave us a recipe for lasagna gardening. Just like lasagna is made up of many repeating layers, a garden plot can be created with layers of brown (carbon) and green (nitrogen) organic material. We created our lasagna garden with lots of layers of newspaper, grass clippings, coir (from the coconut shell), leaves, yard soil, fish emulsion and more. The resulting garden was about 15 inches high. We'll watch it decompose over the summer. Here's a picture -
The young gardeners made banners to personalize their gardens, while munching on treats brought by Garrett and Ethan. We've got some creative youngsters in this group! Here are a couple of the banners.
