I do like lasagna layering for perennial beds, but not for planting shrubs, where (wo)manually removing the sod is the way to go. I know you know this, but it's important to backfill trees & shrubs with the original soil, not compost, so the roots can grow out freely, not circle around.

I got tired of hauling off the sod and took the easy way out and just started flipping over the sod. Once my items were planted, I added Pine Straw mulch. Well, I have been fighting the grass and weeds in the middle of the island all summer long while the edges are perfectSkeeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08222522533934405029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-70612617124188911022011-10-05T08:09:58.586-05:002011-10-05T08:09:58.586-05:00Tina, I have vowed to not make any more new beds b...Tina, I have vowed to not make any more new beds but only to make the beds I have better.
