How to remove grass?

Question

I have a lot of grass and I want to take some of it out to plant a veggie garden, What is the easiest way to do this?

If I have to digg down to pull it out, how deep do i have to go to make sure that the grass does not grow again.
Thanks

Answer 1

you dont have to take it out...take a shovel and turn each clod over as you dig up the garden. exposure to the air will kill the roots. in a week or so when the clods are dry rototill them to break them up...rake it smooth or into raised rows and plant away...

Answer 2

Depending on its size, you can use a rototiller to break up the grass, about three inches deep. A little less labor intense than a spade. Shake the remaining dirt from the grass clumps. Just remember your never exempt from weeds and grass coming back.

Answer 3

i planted a garden last year what i did was measure out how big i wanted the garden then took a spade and went three inches down around the perrimeter then removed about two inches down then started removing the grass don't remove to much of the top soil so you don't have replace the top soil

Answer 4

When I have some grass, I usually roll it up real tight in a small piece of paper.
