It takes approximately 6-12 months for a lasagna mulched garden to be ready for planting. The exact time depends on the type of materials used and the weather. All the materials need to break down before the bed can be planted. The garden bed is ready for planting when all the layers are decomposed enough that they aren't recognizable. Another tell-tale sign is that the bed smells and looks like fresh earth. Compost Mulch, Cypress Mulch, Types Of Mulch, Lasagna Gardening, Bedding Plants, Gardening For Beginners, Garden Beds

Will wood chips remove nitrogen from the soil? Yes, wood chips do affect nitrogen levels in the soil. Wood chips deplete nitrogen from a shallow zone of soil close to the surface. However, below the first few inches of the earth, nitrogen levels actually increase after the application of wood chips. This difference occurs because microorganisms use nitrogen to decompose organic matter (in this case, wood chips), causing a depletion. Wood Chips, Microorganisms, Nitrogen

A no-till garden is a method of gardening that does away with the traditional use of tilling to prepare the soil. In no-till gardens, the soil is not dug up and turned to prepare for planting. Instead, organic components like compost and animal fertilizers are layered over the soil to create a rich, nutrient-heavy base in which to plant seeds and starters.
