I am lasagna'ing my big flower garden..........tons of free cardboard boxes from Amish store, horse manure, dead leaves and other vegetation, free wood mulch from the sawmill. Doing sections at a time, and hoping it will be cooked enough to plant in a month or so.

But the pasture is too big for that. The husband is a definite killer herbicide man. So I'm dithering.
