I am trying to build some new lasagna style beds, but don't really want to spend money to go out and buy stuff to add to the layers. My neighbors have kindly been bagging up grass clippings and pine straw with some leaves. I put down a layer of cardboard on the lawn then put down a layer of grass clippings. I figure I would alternate between layers of pine straw and grass clippings, but was wondering how thick I can make the grass layers without it being too smelly. (Most of the grass is St. Augustine.) I know you are supose to add equal ammounts of green and brown, but I am wondering how much I can "cheat" without it being too smelly.
Thanks!
Tabitha
