RJ (replyor) pfp

I inherited this little garden area from the previous homeowners that is completely overgrown. There is some nice stuff, so I tried to tame it last year, but it's just too far gone and I want to start anew. Anyone have any recommendations to easily accomplish this? I don't have any equipment and I want to be able to plant in it come fall.

No easy way. Yank it! Maybe add some sort of raised edge so you can add compost and topsoil and start with a fresh banging plot and keep the dirt off the path. I look forward to seeing your progress!

Even if you cover it with plastic, it might not help since the root system will still be alive. It might be worth trying to pull out some of the plants by hand, if possible with the roots. Then, return after a few days and repeat the process. It's also advisable to buy a small shovel:)

Treat your neighbors to a fun time and get yourself a machete and hack at it. ⚔️

Put a couple of overlapping layers of cardboard on it to smother what's there, water well, then add one inch of compost on top. Charles Dowding is a famous gardened that vouches for this method.

I've got nothing to add further to the great advice by others: the no dig method (cardboard) suggested by others would work, membrane (no dig: just cover and weigh down with bricks) too. Otherwise it's something like glyphosate (weed killer) and forking. Keep us updated as to what you decide to do! 50 $DEGEN

Burn it down! Jk. If I had that, I'd manually handle it with a saw and shovel, while mumbling under my breath the entire time. Good luck! 5 $degen

dig a shallow trench around the border, cover all that shit with black plastic, tuck the plastic into the trench and bury the edges. let it sit for a few weeks. all that shit will die and rot and be easier to extract

Consider renting a rototiller to remove weeds and loosen the soil before planting anew.

I also love farming and always grow vegetables The human soul becomes calm and happy with agriculture I think you can plant flowers and dedicate a part to planting vegetables and eggplants and tomatoes Pumpkin is also great, especially pumpkin seeds and nuts what is your opinion ?

the cardboard option is likely the easiest and least toxic method to start fresh. no plastic or chemicals involved as long as you get all the labels and staples and whatnot out first. good luck!
