A specific method of composting is called lasagna gardening, and it is easy. You don't have to remove grass weeds, and you don't have to work the soil at all. The first layer of your lasagna garden consists of newspaper placed directly on top of the grass or weeds in the area; what a great way to keep using The Herald-Whig. It's important to use a minimum of three sheets; I like to use whole sections naturally folded in half. Wet this layer down to keep everything in place and start the decomposition process. The grass or weeds underneath will break down fairly quickly because they will be smothered by the newspaper, as well as by the materials layered on top. http://qui.live.mediaspanonline.com/new_story/In-The-Garden2009-11-06T12-01-39
