How to Remove Grass in the Spring
Here is a “quick” method for spring timing that works well for us!
Smothering Technique
Follow the smothering technique above using layered newspaper. This quick technique assumes you have decent soil (versus weedy, neglected, spent soil).
Soak the newspaper layers with water.
Place plants at a proper distance (as indicated by your plant labels).
Cut through the wet newspaper to dig a small planting hole for each.
Plant and spread excess dirt on paper.
Cover all newspaper with a few inches of mulch. If you are planting a vegetable patch, covering it with straw (versus mulch) is another option.
If you have clay soil, you can also build raised beds right on the lawn and line the bottoms with cardboard to smother the grass—a technique that makes it possible to fill the beds and start gardening right away.
The next step is to ensure your soil is healthy. See our advice on soil preparation and testing.
