Love this! I’ve got loads of young sod - some of which I’m removing and other areas I’m seeding with other grasses and trying to building better soil structure to encourage deeper roots!

Is the last method - the tarping step - to ensure the seeds are killed due to light deprivation? I have a very lazy pile going that started as sod I removed to plant a garden - I dig into it occasionally to put spent mycelium blocks and other organic waste that didn’t make it into my more “regulated” piles. your suggestions are timely, thank you! 😆

“…will compost down to perfectly good soil.” I like that ending. Why do they use that netting anyway? I will have to look it up. Years ago I was digging up a plod of lawn to put in a garden. I couldn’t figure out where all that plastic shit was coming from. I did figure it out. Weird. Anyway, I support what you are saying about lawns and how to make them useful -compost. Hah.
