Anyone have any idea about whether I should clear the grass from under my

If you do decide to keep the area grass free, I'd pull the grass out
rather than dig it out, loosening it using a small weeding fork trowel
rather than anything as destructive as a spade. Thick mulch will keep
the weeds down, but kikyu will always manage to creep under.


Good advice. I would recommend a thick mulch over the grass and once
the grass has started to grow through, it should be a lot easier to
hand pull out after a good mulch, as the mulch effectively weakens it,
but won't weaken the lemon tree.
