I made this lasagna bed last summer, starting with newspapers & cardboxes, peat moss, leaves, manure & topsoil, all layered.
Late summer blooms last year were very pleasing.

I enjoy walking into the "quarter of a pie" shaped garden and seeing the tulips and nepeta blooming now. (please ignore the tall grass in front. I only included this photo so that you could see the size of the garden bed)

I have white foxglove, more nepeta, phlox, Great Blue lobelia, iris, anemones and some native plants and shrubs to look forward to also.

That looks so good Denise. I used the lasagna method on some beds last year and am very happy with the results.
