How to kill my turnip garden?
We currently have a turnip garden (previous homeowners had it, I should say) and are wanting to plant something different and cut the garden size in half. Is there anything special that we need to do in order to keep the turnips from returning? I have tried to search for this topic and have been unsuccessful. We are pulling up all of the turnings, but I know there will probably be some saplings left. Any suggestions on how to kill turnips? Thank you.

I've got an idea on how to kill your turnip garden, as turnips can be bothersome. You could pull out all the turnips, and then put wood chips in your garden for a few days, without watering. The wood chips will absorb all water, therefore drying out and killing the leftover saplings.
Next thing you know, you can start planting in your garden without worrying about turnips shooting up.
Hope this helps!

The Royal Horticultural Society's garden at Wisley in the English county of Surrey south of London, is one four public gardens run by the Society, the others being Harlow Carr, Hyde Hall and Rosemoor. Wisley is the second most visited paid entry garden in the United Kingdom after the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, with 959,434 visitors in the year to 31 January 2010.
Wisley was founded by Victorian businessman and RHS member George Ferguson Wilson, who purchased a 60 acre (243,000 m²) site in 1878. He established the "Oakwood Experimental Garden" on part of the site, where he attempted to "make difficult plants grow successfully". Wilson died in 1902 and Oakwood (which was also known as Glebe Farm) was purchased by Sir Thomas Hanbury, the creator of the celebrated garden La Mortola on the Italian Riviera. He gifted both sites to the RHS the following year. Since then Wisley has developed steadily and it is now is a large and diverse garden covering 240 acres (971,000 m²). In addition to numerous formal and informal decorative gardens, several glasshouses and an extensive arboretum, it includes small scale "model gardens" which are intended to show visitors what they can achieve in their own gardens, and a trials field where new cultivars are assessed.
The laboratory, for both scientific research and training, was originally opened in 1907, but proved inadequate. It was expanded and its exterior was rebuilt during World War I. It was made a Grade II Listed building in 1985.[4]
