Hello all,

I am a first time home owner in Southern California. Our backyard has
a
pretty steep slope which is all weeds. My wife and I would like to start
planted various flowers, small trees and maybe even some vegetables. What
I
am wondering is what is the best way to get rid of all of the weeds and
prepare the soil for growing anything?

Thank you all for your time.
