There was an article in one of last summer's issues of Mother Earth News
title "Lasagna Gardening with Newpapers" or some such. Since I am now
officially trailer trash, having bought a Candominium I have been
reduced to container gardening. My irrigation system is an old fashioned
sprinkler can (any idea how bleeding hard those are to find not made of
plastic?), my weed control is a garden trowel and my deck is almost
impossible to move around on without getting up against plants.
 
ENJOY!!!
