No Dig Gardening in the L.A. Times

(Robert Lachman / Los Angeles Times)

There was a great article in the L. A. Times this weekend about Pat Marfisi's Hollywood Hills garden planted in alfalfa hay, straw and compost.

"Since he began gardening in this fashion, he says, he has been 'inundated' with food. With the exception of some recent losses to raccoons drawn to the soil's abundant grubs and earthworms, Marfisi's garden is thriving with beets, collard greens, chard, celery, tomatoes, chives, peppers, basil, chives, lettuces and leeks. He estimates he grows enough food to feed three people daily."
