Welcome @Valarie Isley

Welcome @Luke Suen

@Erick Krause So many nuisance grasses. When I am somewhere long enough I get rid of it all, and have some other kind of groundcover.

@Erick Krause I avoid plastic whenever possible. So, no to tarping it. The reality is, in this place they used a weed cloth barrier. And, as usual, it doesn't last as anything worthwhile. The grass likes to use it to weave in and out of. Normally, I layer at least a foot of soil building material on top. But, I am here temporarily and it is framed beds, another thing I don't like. So, I am loosening the soil with a fork, carefully lifting the grass, shaking the soil out of it's roots, laying the grass roots in the sun to die, and then composting it.
