Lasagna Gardening is the production of
growing beds using a layering technique
that includes straw, fresh organic material,
a soil amendment of your choice (leaf
hummus), and topsoil. Finished lasagna
beds are nutrient-rich environments for
annual and perennial plantings. Think of
lasagna gardening as composting in beds.

6. Add Natural Fertilizer in
prescribed amounts
Re-Vita Compost Plus
A 100% natural, composted fertilizer of poultry manure, kelp, and
humate, Re-Vita Compost Plus is one of the most complete
fertilizers available. Contains a balanced source of nitrogen,
phosphorus, and potash in a slow release form which feeds the
plant throughout the season. The addition of kelp and humate
provides a complex of trace minerals and bio-stimulants easily
assimilated by plants. These substances enhance germination, root
growth and overall health of the plant. Re-Vita improves
structure, water holding capacity and aeration of the soil. It also
revitalizes the biological activity in the soil. Re-Vita is in a uniform,
granular form which is easy to use. Excellent for gardens, flowers,
shrubs, trees, and field crops. For gardens apply 5 lbs. per 100 row
ft. or 2 lbs. per 100 sq. ft.
