| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses "four techniques for turning well-established turf into a [garden] bed ready for planting." Describes digging, which "produces quick, clean results and allows [a gardener] to plant [his or her] garden immediately." States that "breaking up sod with a tiller requires some muscle, but most of the work is done by the tiller's engine." Suggests that "perhaps the easiest way to eliminate grass is to smother it using plastic, newspaper, or cardboard." Discusses herbicide application and suggests "[choosing] an appropriate product" and that "well-established turf may require more than one application." |
