Can I mix grass killed a month ago with roundup into soil With

You could, but why on earth would you want to?
Why do you want to add roundup?
Ahhh... already dead grass. In that case I would use it for growing
food crops.

What to do with fresh sawdust, I have a lot, if it can not be used
fresh
how do you rot it quickest.

Too much work/time to rot sawdust. Been there tried that.
Sawdust is good for growing acid-loving plants though, such as
Blueberries and Azaleas.

If the new bed has 6" of green grass on it do I mow it first and
remove
or just run the cultivator tiller over the lot (and the
aforementioned
roundupped dead grass from elsewhere.Or roundup the new bed, wait a
week
or two then cultivate ?
Now there is a muddled bunch of questions.

Well, the question is what do you intend growing in this garden.

You need to keep in mind that roundup isn't safe and Monstanto's
claims of roundup breaking down safely in the soil has been proven
to
be false, and has a lot of health related issues.

How many square metres is this garden going to be?

A few vegies, maybe jam melons,about 5 or 6 sq m.

That's an extremely small area, unless you have physical limitations,
you should be able to dig the grass out by hand?

Just getting ancient, that is why I got this small tiller cultivator.
Don't know how many gardens I will end up with, haven't had much
success
where I have moved to so far (sort of southern highlands Sydney)

Are you in the Southern Highlands or in Sydney?

, grew
some jam melons and punkins, Tons of flowers big and little, tried
polination with brush and ended up with one jam melon about 90 mm in
dia
and one punkin oval about 90 x 150 mm, (supposed to be Halloween
pumpkins).
planted a passion fruit about 3 seasons ago, nothing happened for ages
other than greenery but this year some fruit appeared just before
winter,
grew full size and then have remained the same colour green for the
last
month or so with no indication of changing colour and it is now quite
cold
where I am.

In that case you might be in the Southern Highlands. If you are, this
is a
good time of year to be doing your ground preparation fr a futre veg
garden.
I do a little bit each day when I'm doing ground prep.


Near Tahmoor and Bargo

Right. You haven't got the gorgeous basalt soil of some of the Sthn
Highlands if I recall that area correctly. I was born in the Southern
Highlands in Bowral.
We have lovely black soil (Darling Downs) added some sheep manure that had
sat in a bucket of water for about a year, came out looking like the black
soil and about as thick. The broad beans appear to think it is wonderful. Or
that could be the recent 2 lots of 1/2 an inch of precipitation.
