Lasagna gardening at Farmer’s Market

After a gardening column last month in which I mentioned removing rocks and digging up the area where you plan to put your vegetable garden, I got a call from a reader who told me that was the hard way.  The caller was Pearl O’Neill of Hereford, who at 92 is still growing some of her own food and teaching others to garden.  “The easy way,” she said, “is lasagna gardening.”  In fact she had just harvested a couple of cabbages from her own lasagna garden.
