Hi, i'm new to gardening and i was just wondering
if anyone could advise me...
My garden is an absolute mess and would probably be best if someone
could just hit the 'reset' button.
Is there any way that i can simply kill everything green that's in it in
such a way that the soil would still be plantable after X amount of time
so i can simply seed the entire thing and plant the flower beds where i
want them?

garden banter question - I realize .
but -
.. what makes some people think that
gardening should be easy ?
If a person doesn't have the time & energy to
turn over and loosen & mulch a patch of ground -
.. what do they think gardening is .. ?

I think it is a matter of scale. If you enjoy a 10X10 plot then so be
it. Then go larger until you consider it work. At which time you can
cut back or carry on if the garden virus hits you.
