Organic Gardening- lasagne style

I have been researching the "lasagne" method of gardening. It is basically layering different organic materials in the garden beds that work together to create the optimal growing environment for vegetables and flowers. Some ideas are newspapers, coffee grounds (free from Starbuck's), composted material from the compost bin, leaves, grass clippings and straw.
I am going to try it for myself in a few months and I hope that what I have put in my compost bins is ready to use. I don't get down there and turn the bins enough, so we will see!
