What is the easiest way to destroy the grass in my lawn. I want to plant a variety of local flowers, grass and ferns.
I don’t want to use anything that would harm insects and I would prefer not to take it up in sod because the loam is very thick in rocks.
Would a power tiller work to destroy the grass? Maybe a tarp over the grass?
Thanks in advance.
You can place a layer of cardboard over the grass, and then top it with soil. Enough to keep out the undesirable grass, and it will break down over time. Try to avoid cardboard with colorful dyes and keep to the basic brown.
Interesting. I never heard of this method. Thanks.
(some) cardboards made for long distance shipping have insecticides and fungicides in them
