How do I clear a grassy area for a garden?
We just bought a place in the country, but it doesn't look like there has been a garden here in recent years. I don't know how to create a nice, clean area for a garden. I would appreciate any suggestions.

Answer by Dirty Little Mind
Once you have killed, removed or smothered the existing vegetation (see Clearing A Flower Bed), you can begin to work the soil or loosen the soil and prepare the flower bed area for planting flowers. This can be done with a tiller or by hand using a spade and garden fork. If the soil is very compacted or has never been worked, you may want to rent a large, powerful tiller to do the initial passes. Thereafter, a lightweight tiller or a spade should be sufficient. After the first year, you should not need to till the soil again.

Garden Shelf
Our old garden shelf was rusted to the point of collapse, so we bought this new one last summer. Being a wire structure, it won't collect pools of dust and water in the same way. I've planted an Akebia quinata (chocolate vine) to climb up the side of it.
