My parents moved into a new place in IA and want to remove some grass to
plant a garden and flowers. Does anyone know a good way to get rid of
grass for good without herbicides?

Black plastic hasn't worked. We left parts of the lawn covered for a year
one time but when the ground below contacts air and light again the
grass comes back from the root. She got a rototiller and was thinking of
tilling it under. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
