Wood Ashes, Shredded Papers, etc.

Question

Could I put a layer of wood ashes, a layer of shredded newspapers, and a layer of dried lawn grass from last year with a layer of dirt between each in a raised garden that I want to make?

Answer 1

Yes, this is fine and will not only break down over time but will fertilize and nourish both the soil and plants. This article will help you with that: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/special/urban/raised-beds-for-urban-settings-no-digging-required.htm
