Lasagna mulching at Silverton

Silverton already had two big raised beds installed last year so we didn't need to install any there this time around. Yet there is so much space out there I wanted to expand the garden so we can grow as much as possible this year- Everyone is so excited and supportive about the garden program over there, we want it to be a productive year! Last year Jeremy had cleared out another area and built a couple mound-style raised beds, but these have become over grown with grass already making them the perfect candidate for the lasagna mulching activity with the kids. There are 5 classes at Silverton, I had each class lay down all their lasagna mulching material in a designated space. In addition to the two 4x20' beds on location each class will now have their own little garden bed this year to take ownership and be proud of. There're not much to look at now, but they will be!
