I have a nice patch of grass in my back yard I want to convert to garden.
What are some good ways to get rid of the grass - kill it, turn it under,
etc. ?

Depends how big it is. You could just turn it in, or skim off the top 2" and
get rid, or if there's a huge amount, you could hire a turf stripper which
does the same but a lot quicker and neater. Then you could use the turf for
elsewhere, or you could make a loam stack. Stack your turf green side to
green side and brown side to brown side, cover the pile and this time next
year you'll have some nice compost.
