Miracles of lasagna gardening

Because I'm too lazy to do proper compost and I also fail to see why I should put so much work into something when doing nothing will garner me the same result, I've fallen in love with lasagna gardening. Because I'm too negligent to do it right, it ended up being (in 7 easy steps):

1. Choose a place in your garden where you would like things to grow.

2. Arrange a few stones gathered on the spot around the said place (mostly to remember where it was).

3. Dump the bucket with all kitchen organic waste in such place once a week (or more often if the kitchen tells you it's time to get the bucket out) and spread loosely.

4. Add about the same volume of black soil (that's how we call here whatever is supposed to be more fertile than the more widespread clay or laterite or sand - clay in my case); spread loosely.

5. Don't do anything. This is the rainy season, so watering is unnecessary. Sit back and relax.

6. Visit the place now and then, to see what's happening.

7. If nothing happens after, say, 3 weeks, repeat the process from step 3.

After a few weeks of this (hard) "work", here is what I have in patch No. 1.

The big green leaves are watermelon. I bought one for my partner, who loves it (I don't), but forgot it in the fridge. I just dumped it behind the house when it started getting mouldy. Although the leaves are plenty and cover the soil nicely, I can't get very excited about them.

The brownish green leaves in between are a complete different story. The mango season has started and, living in mango country (mango orchards as far as the eye can see and beyond), we gorge ourselves with them. To the point of becoming quite picky about which variety is best. My conclusion is that a certain medium sized, yellow with bright red 'cheeks' variety and a characteristic beak are the best I've ever eaten. You don't have to chew. You just put it in your mouth and it melts in it. Like a ripe avocado pear, only so much better because, of course, it's mango, and it's juicy, and it's sweet, and it's full of flavour.

So yes, I'm extremely excited to have THREE of the pits I threw there growing already. Isn't life beautiful?
