How do I prepare soil for a vegetable garden from a grassy lawn?

Monday, November 22nd, 2010 at 10:32 am

I have already started the seedlings, but I want to transplant them into the ground tomorrow. I'm hoping to prepare a little patch of soil on my grassy lawn, but I know nothing about gardening.
I understand I have to till the soil several inches deep, but what do I do with all the grass? I know I don't want to get rid of the top soil, but do I just mix all the grass in with the soil??
All I have is a shovel, hoe, fertilizer, and some muscle, but no fancy gardening tools.

How to remove Weed Trees?

Hey folks,

I've got an area along the edge of my lawn that used to be a garden and now just has weeds. Problem is, a few of the weeds have turned into what look like trees (when bloomed they look like palm trees almost). Their main stalk is like 2 inches thick and feel like actual wood.

What's the best/easiest way to remove those? Don't mind buying a tool.

Thanks!
