| I started building my lasagna beds last fall, thinking they'd be fairly broken down by spring. Well, they're not as far along as I'd like (largely because I used a lot of unchopped leaves) and it's time to get those sprouts planted out! Anyone else done this? I've planted in "unbaked" lasagna gardens before, but only sizeable perennials and shrubs, not seedlings. I'm basically making a little pocket of compost or potting soil and plunking in fairly large HOSs, surrounded by a sea of leaves. Do you think they can handle it? Any success or (heaven forbid) failure stories? |

| Yes, I've done it at that stage and seedlings did well. They'll love it. Karen |

| I had to do this last year cause well I just ran out of room and I had to put the seedlings somewhere. So I did a quick Lasagna bed and pluncked away. Now I am thinking I may have to rearrange some of the plants. Oh well Paula |

| It's encouraging to hear it will work! I put in a few seedlings last week and they look perfectly happy, although once in a while I have to pluck an errant dried leaf off of them. It'll be more fun to plant next year when it's all broken down into lovely compost. |
