LAYING LAWN - KILL WEEDS BEFOREHAND!?!?

I first mowed just under 1,300 sqm of area with the mower set to the lowest level (the weeds) and then turned everything over with a borrowed rototiller. After that, rake smooth as usual and sow.

Exactly like that!!! A landscape gardener wouldn’t do it any differently. However, the rototiller shouldn’t be a toy but one for adults! Otherwise, you’ll be thinking about this action forever.

Hello Krischaaan

how is the farmer doing? Round Up over it, wait a week, plow and sow.

This procedure also involves digging up the soil.
He will not get around that, but categorically excludes it for the "large" 400-500sqm.

If digging over is too strenuous, you can just have a garden landscaper come. How long does digging over approximately take? I have a similar area, unfortunately clayey/loamy and already tilled, and currently I am growing a green manure. It’s like weeds and then has to be dug over...

Hello M4rvin

The digging over is not the problem. Removing the weeds is the exhausting part. That is not solved by simply digging over.

Well, go ahead! And also set up a sandbox for the kids there ....
