Yes, you can <a href="http://www.egardenseed.com" rel="nofollow">grow vegetables from seed</a> in a lasagna garden with no trouble. Sprinkle a little finished compost over the area you want to plant, sow the seed, and cover it with a little more of the finished compost (no need to dig when planting seeds in a lasagna garden!) Did you use newspaper or cardboard as your bottom lasagna layer? Sometimes, if the cardboard hasn't funny decomposed, it will need to have small holes cut into it (or pocked through it) so the plant roots can grow. The list of recommended ables I provide in the blog should help get you started. I would love to see pictures of your process if you have any you would like to share! Good luck and happy gardening!

We are trying to be organic so a friend of mine suggested the Lasagna Garden method to us. We did this in the Fall, we've had lots of rain and snow, so we think our "lasagna" has shrunk by now. Will we be able to grow from seed again like we did last year? We do not have funds to purchase starter plants. Do you have any suggestions about growing from seed in sheet compost? Some of our plants only needed the barest covering - 1/4" of dirt. Thank you for your help! We built a community vegetable garden on Church grounds last year and had a terrible time with weeds.
