Can I mix grass killed a month ago with roundup into soil With tiller.
What to do with fresh sawdust, I have a lot, if it can not be used fresh
how do you rot it quickest.
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.

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.

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.

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?

I shouldn't think the poison will do you much good although it does
break down perhaps binning it would be the go

It DOESNT BREAK DOWN Baz, despite what Monsanto claimed.
Do some research.

How about mowing it, then get a sharp spade and cut the grass into
small sections, then undercut it with the spade? That's what I usually
do.

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) , 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.

Yes if the tiller is strong enough.

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

Pee on it regularly (the ammonia in your pee willl help it rot) or put it
in a chook pen and let the chooks turn it to great soil improvering stuff or
add lots of manure and give it a stir reguarly.

I'd remove the grass first and tehn dig it over with a fork but you could
kill it and then till it or you could till it and then keep weeding and
working on it till it gets to the condition you want. There are no hard and
fast rules just what works for you in your situation.

I do a little bit each day when I'm doing ground prep.

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.

Fair enough... this year is the first year I can feel myself beginning
to slow down a bit, but still can do all the work I want, just takes a
little longer

My main veggie patch is approx. 20 x20m², I also used a cultivator but
only after I hand dug the grass out of there first. I'm still digging
new runners out from time to time even after 3 years, the rye grass I
have here is really quite invasive but manageable.

You might be better off growing as if you were in Tassie, the climates
may be similar (at least during autumn/winter)? It's -6° here quite
regularly and the days max out around 12°... but can still grow plenty
of veggies, once you adapt to the conditions. Frost is both a friend
and foe here, depending on what you're growing.
