Have you ever heard of No-Dig Gardening? How about No-Till Gardening, or Lasagna Gardening? Well, it's a new EASY way to garden! Even better than being an easier task than the back-breaking one we gardeners all know from experience, it is also good for Mother Earth. And on top of that yummy thought, you can learn how to be a No-Dig gardener right at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church! The well-known and local gardener extraordinaire, Charlie Nardozzi, will be presenting this technique on Sunday, March 20th @ 3:00 PM. You are invited, and there is no cost. The only thing you need to do is sign up for a seat by sending your name and email to Barbara, author of this notice, at barbarathomke@comcast.net Space is limited.

Two quotes from the back cover of Charlie Nardozzi's book, The Complete Guide to No-Dig Gardening, explain the benefits of this gardening method:" Tired of turning over your garden soil every spring knowing you're damaging its structure, unearthing weed seeds, disrupting beneficial soil life, and making a whole lot of work for yourself? You're not alone! Instead of harming your soil by repeatedly tilling or turning it, why not build up your soil with no-dig gardening methods instead?

No-dig gardening techniques create a more stable garden environment where plants thrive in nutrient-dense soil. Also called no-till or lasagna gardening, no-dig gardening uses layers of organic matter stacked on top of each other to promote hearty plant growth and high yields while also reducing weeding, watering, and work."
