Northwold - The Grass Must Go

We got serious about removing the grass today at the Northwold garden. We've been trying for several months to get someone with a tractor or bobcat to help us plow. Today we decided that we'd go back to the city method of a sod cutter to remove the grass followed by a tiller to dig down and loosen the soil. Using a sod cutter is hard physical labor. We had trouble starting the sod cutter, keeping the sod cutter running and working in areas where the grass was patchy or the ground was not level. We did make good progress today. The hope in next Sat. we can begin to plant some tomatoes in this city lot.
