Converting grass lawn to vedgie garden.
You have two choices~~ Either, bury the turf inverted and at about nine
inches as you cultivate, or skim it all off before digging and stack it for
a few months to rot before spreading it over the dug soil. The first option
is the best.

My little lady and I finally got out of apartment living to buy a
little condo with about 500 square feet of grass that we'd like to
turn into a vedgie garden. So.. .I went out and got a shovel, a hoe
and a pickaxe. We weeded out what wasn't grass and set to work
breaking up the sod.
Now, we live in Hawaii so the sod is thick, thick, thick. So thick,
in fact, when I pull a chunk out and examine the cross-section, it's
hard to decide where grass+air ends and roots+soil starts. It's
coming up like carpet.
How do I break this up to be ready for vedgies?
Thanks in advance.
