Hi all,

thanks for the continued replies.

Assuming that I have just 'grass' with no pernicious weeds is it ok
just to dig
the whole lot over to create beds and then weed regularly
as I go without
lifting the turf.

You won't find it as easy as it sounds as you always end up with bits of
grass poking up from the edges and they always GROW (
I would use the doubleDigAndPutSodUpsideDownInBottomOfHole approach.
