new garden

17 years ago

I have decided to plant a vegetable garden in our backyard this spring. It is going to be small, about 8'X4'. Just enough for a couple tomato plants and some cucumbers. It will be in a raised bed. I have been composting for a few years for my flowers, so I have a small supply of compost to integrate in with my good ole South Carolina red clay. Anyways, I have a bermuda lawn, and I have dug up the bermuda in the area for my raised bed. I have also broken up the soil down another 8 to 10 inches, and will add the compost later in early March. The problem is the bermuda grass. There are pieces of it throughout the soil. At present it is dormant, but once it starts getting warm it will start going again. Is there any way to prevent this from happening? I have hand picked a lot of it out, but still some remains.
