Rolliston Road Garden

The Rolliston Road garden has 29 4’x10’ garden plots. All of the plots were built on top of the soil using a method known as lasagna gardening or sheet composting. Lasagna gardening is a no-dig, no-till organic gardening method that results in rich, fluffy soil with very little work from the gardener. The name “lasagna” refers to the method of building the garden, which involves adding layers of organic material that will cook down over time.
