The term (no till) is also used here, but 'lasagna' seems more popular. As long as it works I don't care what name we give it, LOL.

Thanks Chrissy!

Yes. No till gardening. No dig gardening is very common usage in the U.S.

I use this method everytime for new beds. Too much work digging up the lawn, LOL. I usually wait to plant the next season, but sometimes I'll plant after about a month and everything just thrives and grows like crazy.
