Lasagna gardening is a kinda "cheat sheet" way to get a great minimal-work veggie garden.

Hard to believe, but you layer your ("good stuff") mulchy items with layers of compost and layers of peat moss to get a prepared garden bed. It's a pretty interesting techniques because you can garden on any surface-- concrete, pebbles, hard ole dirt, pine needles by placing wet cardboard or newsprint down on the surface first. It stops weeds from finding a home in the space you designate for your garden, and prairie dogs from rooting up. Then you start layering the "good stuff" just like a lasagna.

There is tons on the internet... goggle away.
