Vegetables Gardening - Growing Organic Vegetables

Rent a sod remover from a local Home Depot, comes off very quickly. The
hard work will then be to use a wheel barrow and then pick up all that you
cut with the sod remover. I too am a novice and tried this method this
year, and it worked like a charm!!! Clean like a morning shave. Weeds do
try and come back, but I have had to do sooo little weeding, just grabbing
any little thing that starts to pop up.
