I hopefully am going to put a greenhouse where my current garden ..
errrrrrr......... patch of weeds is now.

What would be the best procedure to till this up, kill and pull all the
things growing there, and get it in shape so that next year I am not
overrun with weeds?

Steve


I'd mow it as close as possible and cover it with landscape cloth and
mulch.

Mulch can harbor pests and disease, better to use a gravel over the cloth
or just a couple of layers of cloth.
