Vegatables that help convert grassland into workable veggie patch?
Use cardboard (flattened large boxes) to cover the soil completely,
held down ideally with vegetable matter but otherwise planks. Cut x's in
the cardboard in spring to plant potatoes, or young courgette plants,
beans etc. Or fruit trees and bushes, and garden plants Keep up the
mulching.
Our entire garden was lawn when we arrived and all the planting has used
the cardboard,mulching no-dig method.
if you google permaculture/lasagne garden you'll find loads of info on
the method.
