The weeds are easier than you think to bring down - just cut them to ground level, and then put some black bin liners over them to kill their light. Soon destroys them. If you're going to put down grass seeds in March, this method makes more sense than digging the entire garden, as the ground stays level.
i know as much about gardening and horticulture as i do about subtlety - i.e. nothing.. you mention putting "down grass seeds in march" - is there any reason i would put them down in march rather than any other month? what are the main steps i need to take to turn a garden full of waist-high weeds into a serviceable lawn? so far, it seems to be:
1) cut down weeds to lawn level with shears
2) cover entire lawn with black bin bags so no light can get through
3) wait
how long do the bags need to be down for? what do i do once i remove them? how do i turn the mess that is left into a nice flat lawn?
'ppreciate the help so far
