You don't need to remove the sod. You don't need to rent a sod cutter. You don't need to till. You just bury the grass alive under cardboard and compost, plant the same afternoon, and harvest in four weeks.

Mow the grass short. Lay large sheets of corrugated cardboard directly on top — overlap every edge by at least six inches so nothing pushes through. Soak it with a hose until it molds flat to the ground.

Spread four to six inches of compost on top of the wet cardboard. This is your growing medium. Your plants root into the compost while the cardboard smothers the grass underneath. By the time roots reach the cardboard, it's soft enough to push through.

Top with two to three inches of straw mulch. Then plant. Same day. Transplants go straight into the compost. Seeds go directly on the surface.

🌱 What happens underneath:

- The cardboard blocks all light from the grass. Without light, it dies within a few weeks
- Earthworms detect the wet cardboard from below and start eating it — they love cellulose. Their tunnels aerate the native soil
- By month two or three, the compost, cardboard, dead grass, and native soil have merged into one continuous living soil column
- The bed improves every year because you never disrupted the fungal networks and earthworm tunnels that were already there

Four weeks after laying cardboard on your lawn, you're cutting lettuce from the same spot.

One afternoon of layering. No digging. No sod cutter. No tilling 🌿
