Trenching :
If you haven't seriously started digging your plot consider trenching. It save all the weeding and cleaning of grass etc and can be useful for burying small bits of rubbish.
Method:
In your first cut dig a trench the width of the plot. A trench is a long slit as deep as the length of the spade and about a foot wide. Put the first spoil up on the ground behind the first trench, leaving you with an empty trench for the next cut. Taking the next cut to the depth of the spade turn it and put the top, complete with all weeds and/or grass to the bottom of the trench out of sight and ready to rot down. Repeat the process for each cut, ensuring that the weeds and soil are burried in the bottom of the trench. When you have finished the plot, leave it to settle for a few days then lightly rake over the rough earth making it ready for final raking and planting.
Good digging. I want some produce as a reward.
