I'm going to give the bag garden in Barbara Pleasant's book, Starter Vegetable Gardens, a try. The idea of a bag garden is that it's a simple way to start a garden without first digging out grass. She says to lay down a layer of cardboard or several layers of newspaper before placing the bags. Once the bags are in place and the opening is cut in the top of each one, you're supposed to pierce the bottom of each bag about a dozen times for drainage. This leads to my question. Our lawn is the dreaded bermuda grass. Since it is able to grow through the tiniest of openings, is it likely to grow through the drainage holes and become a problem? I know ideally it would be best to dig out the bermuda first, but it probably isn't going to be possible for several reasons.
