Lasagna gardening, which is shown how to grow or simply a fad?
In recent years, gardening has become a term lasagna popular expression in the community gardening online. Bearers of simple construction and easy with very little work. But it is really a viable option for owners who want to create your own garden victory this year? For those unfamiliar with lasagna gardening, which is described as layers of organic materials that leaves and grass, shredded paper and debris. The theory is that the material decomposes in August creates a rich soil for your garden, without no work.
There is an inexhaustible source of new ways that promise easier and faster to get results. The fundamental fact that nature works of his own design continues to elude some of the best intentions. I have written for years that gardening is a process not an event.
I am not a person is distracted easily DCP. I am an organic gardener in the background for the simple reason that it is the way nature. I can see all the new ideas for gardening with a look of doubt and skepticism. When working in harmony with nature can not fail to succeed. However, any attempt to circumvent the process is doomed to failure.
The classic example is the gardener who is obsessed with the production tomatoes. He wants the biggest, brightest fruit in the shortest possible time can decide to use chemical synthesis to force the plant to maturity a natural rhythm. Yes, you can get incredible results. Sometimes. The only thing that miracles, because these chemicals, is that people continue to be fooled by all the deceptive marketing and packaging. Unfortunately, he thought very little about all the chemicals that the plant has absorbed and how much we eat. Do not tell me that you care about the environment during product use toxic chemicals. The cumulative effect the food you eat is laced with toxins is evident today in most peoples health.
My experience in watching other who jumped on this trend has been entertaining at times and has provided many teachable moments. What we normally see is a landlord built essentially anaerobic and smelly compost heap rots planted all right with her. Although there is merit in the use of materials organic plantations destroyed all the gardens raised beds to control weeds and to speak with moisture, it is crazy to think you can plant in this environment with a certain degree of success. It is true that all these layers break down and contribute to soil fertility, but does provide not the soil itself.
fertile soil is a complex structure of humis, organic matter and a large variety of minerals. It is composed of elements natural minerals such as calcium, magnesium and potassium. It also contains diverse populations of microorganisms such as protozoa, fungi, bacteria, nematodes and earthworms. It will not be replaced by the sandwich method or lasagna, whatever the good intentions.
A better approach raised bed gardening farm is the method that is built directly on the ground and filled with a mixture of soil with proper pH level well balanced the estimated crop. Then use a single layer of shredded paper or grass around their plantations. Now, if you intend build a lasagna garden this year and have saved the newspapers and cardboard used in your compost pile instead. The following season, he can mix well with your existing beds raised to increase the levels of organic matter and nutrients. The end result? I recommend sticking to methods that are tested and put the experience Garfield lasagna.
