Default New Garden Plot Advice

I've got a new plot which I'm going to work out for a vegetable garden
this spring.

Size: 34' X 50' - 1700 SF


Better to use standard materials sizes, ie. 40' X 48'.

It's currently lawn sod which I will be killing off by mowing it to
ground level and tarping it with black plastic for a month+.


Why plastic??? Just till it.

Best to till in fall, then retill with any amendments in spring.

If you lived closer I'd be happy to sell you my 8HP Simplicity tiller.
