Tilling Grass

Question

Do you have to get all of the grass up before you start to till a garden? Or can you just till over the grass?

Answer 1

You can actually go ahead and till the grass, provided it has not seeded. Then you could either treat the area after tilling with Round-up 2-3 weeks before planting the garden, or you could lay down some type of barrier, like landscape fabric or newspaper, to keep weeds out.
