A lasagna garden, such as this one in a vegetable plot, creates beds for plants using layers of materials to build soil.

Learn how to build a low-maintenance, easy-to-develop, no-till lasagna garden in a hands-on workshop in Delta Junction hosted by the ¾«¶«Ó°ÒµCooperative Extension Service. 

Lasagna gardening is a method for creating a productive garden space on untilled land. Sometimes called a deep mulch garden or sheet composting, it is a way to create a raised bed for perennials or vegetables with or without a box around the edges. This method not only maintains nutrients but improves the soil over time — all without having to clear, dig or weed out that first layer of soil.

The workshop will be held at the Sullivan Roadhouse, 266 Richardson Highway, on Tuesday, May 20, from 6-8 p.m. The cost is $10. or visit.
