dave said:I do this for every new bed I make, too. I lay down thick cardboard right over the grass, and cover that with as much organic matter as I can find. Compost, old hay, bags of leaves, garden soil, etc. I usually then plant pretty soon right into all that organic matter. I've never had a problem with the grass coming back.

I agree.

The processes described are all different versions of "lasagna gardening" or "sheet composting". Googling either term should give you a lot of information. I'd never even consider trying to make a new garden any other way.
