Vegetables Gardening - Growing Organic Vegetables

Thank you Jeff. My concern is planting perennials in the lasagna garden and the roots not being able to penetrate topsoil, but I think if I start late winter it might work...and a friend also reminded me of adding gypsum to help brake up the soil.

One of my goals are to get rid of landscaping rocks and fabric and dig into my concrete-like soil so that I may plant beautiful perennials but this has proven to be a backbraking job. Would love to meet some members.
