I tilled up my fall garden yesterday and need the advice of this esteemed board.

There are still some grassroots in the tilled area. I couldn't keep tilling them up because they are very deep and I was basically digging a pit.

Should I roll with it and plant or place a tarp over the tilled area to possibly choke off the grassroots from the sun and kill them?

Thoughts?

im also moving my fall garden to a new section of my yard and will be tilling up the land. last time i did this i removed the turf grass and tilled any remaining roots into the soil and then tilled in the bags of garden soil and my plants did fine. i didnt try to kill off the roots of the surrounding grass at all. im also not a veteran gardener. only been at it for 3 years so far
