| I have an area of my lawn that I want to turn into a veg plot. Any suggestions of the best way to get rid of the lawn? The area is about 10 by 3 metres. I am fairly fit, so would be willing to slice of turf with a spade if that is a reasonable way of doing it, but wondered if that would lose a lot of the topsoil.
As I understand it, my options are:
1. Weedkiller (I have undiluted Roundup in large container) but guess I would still have a big job digging the dead turf over
2. Hire a turf cutter or rotavator
3. Cover it with black plastic for a few weeks/months
Also, having got rid of the lawn, can I just plant stuff into the soil left over, or will I need to add topsoil/compost/some of each?
Many thanks
