Thanks Patricia - you've tweaked my interest and now I'm googling "lasagna gardening" to find out more. Sign up for our, mostly weekly, herb tips on the web site and see what tips are in there. I got a feeling you could be adding lots of good stuff to that list!! Off to find your book.

Great video but you only got it half right. You talk about not digging then go on to tell about all the digging and tilling you do. Try it my way: Lasagna Gardening, No Digging, No Tilling, No Weeding, No Kidding! I promise you will love it. Cheers, Patricia Lanza, author Lasagna Gardening, Lasagna Gardening in Small Spaces, Lasagna Gardening with Herbs. All published by Rodale.

If you rotate your crop, you can plant legumes or clover to put nitrogen back into the ground.

ANTI-OXIDATION IS THE KEY!
p.s. the photosynthetic bacteria present in EM-1 are "nitrogen fixing"

Joseph is right that earthworms recycle available nutrients into nitrogen. Rain and snow also get some nitrogen out of the air. He could try not adding nitrogen in year 2 and thereafter and see how it goes. My experience has been that our vegetables appear to remove more nitrogen than these sources can replace.

I thought that earthworms create nitrogen. |
