You killed the grass with roundup. I removed it with a shovel.
We both didn't leave the grass there.

I haven't put anythign underneath my raised beds (cardboard are some other fabric to stop grass or weeds), and i haven't had any issues with anythign growing up through it.

I see others have just put the cardboard over the grass and filled it in. If it works then awesome. I was assuming the grass would die and mildew or something, and then release stuff into the soil eventually that would affect it. Same with spraying it with roundup.

i'm also someone who doesn't mind doing things the hard way to get a workout. I don't buy a cord of wood and get it delivered and stacked. I go to a buddies house after he cuts a tree down and then i help him cut it up and split it, and then load it into a trailer and bring it to my house and stack it all up myself.

We went to bucket bleachers. So much easier and just as good.

I'm pretty sure most people would avoid doing this. Kind of defeats one of the purposes of growing your own food

Ehh the roundup is buried under landscape fabric, cardboard, organic material, filler dirt, and then soil. It isn't touching anything I'm growing and washes away. It doesn't live forever. Not like I'm treating the top soil with round up.

I also wait a day or two before the landscape fabric because I don't want to touch a bunch of fresh round up.
