    Old Russian method is sprinkle the following on your garden:

    1 cup of water
    1 tsp lemon juice
    1/2 tsp salt
    1tbs mineral powder

    Mix together and spray them on weeds.
    Pica!

    Well, you could just buy a square shovel, edge out the area you want to plant in and get rid of about 1 inch of weed/grass and soil. By throwing this grass and soil somewhere else (woods, compost etc) you can then add bags of good healthy soil on top.
    Also, invest in a little Quick Start for your seeds. It’s from Miracle Grow. IT’s fantastic!
