If you have an area that requires the removal of grass or weeds, cover the area with 4 or 6 mil black plastic and weigh the edges down so it won't blow away in the breeze. The heat generated under the plastic will kill all the growth.

The more direct sunlight it receives will determine the length of time you'll need to leave it in place. You'll need to kill the root system off also, so you'll have to check from time to time to see how it's doing.


I'll use this method for clearing the grass from a future garden spot. If you can leave the plastic on over the winter, by the springtime you'll have nothing but cleared earth under the covering waiting to be tilled or spaded.

Good luck....

Oh my GOD is that funny & true! We bought a slip-n-slide for my daughter the other day, had it out for ONE day (granted it was in direct sunlight and it was about 95 degrees) but it killed the grass in a PERFECT, long strip, the exact shape & size as the slip & slide.....LOL. There is this lovely & perfect strip of brown grass down our nice, green hill! Oh well, the slip-n-slide is tons of fun......just as fun as I remember from when I was a kid.

So this works!

Don't be too brutal I was only a kid-about 7 or 8 years old and those 45's are long gone. I also loved the Bay City Rollers!
