Hi
As part of a bigger job I need to (tomorrow/sunday) lift up and throw away
about 4 square metres of grass.

What is the best way? I tried some today with a spade but as it is wet it
is all a bit messy as the garss is hard to pull apart from the mud.

Any tips?

Sharp spade.

Cut into 1ft or thereabouts squares

Slide spade, flat, under each square and lift as a 'turf'.

Stack upside down as a 'wall' somewhere.

Breaks down as a fine tilth.

Been there. Done that. Got the back ache
