Now we've got a 5-layered lasagna:

1. Organic material
2. Mulch
3. Soil
4. Compost
5. Mulch

Where in that would the pee go?

(Catie, that mushroom compost sounds fantastic. You're lucky.)

How about combining all three ideas? -- Burying organic material and filling it with soil, covering that with the hot compost, and then topping it all off with mulch. Would that suffice?


Thank you all for the ideas. Really appreciated.

I understand that starting the process of ecological succession and seeing into fruition requires time and patience, but my particular lifestyle doesn't pair well with that: I like to wander from place to place, so on average I only have about a year to start and grow gardens at temporary homes.

Is there any way I could go about speeding up the sheet mulching process so that I can reap its benefits in the small timespan that I stay with it?

If I were staying for shorter durations, I would just compost, but I feel like a year-ish is a middle ground, and so I hope to reach a slightly more permanent solution that I can take with me wherever I go (while leaving behind growing ecosystems).

Any advice on how to be able to have a fruitful garden in a short amount of time?
