Got too many weeds in one patch of the yard about 15x30 and decided to kill or remove all the old grass/weeds and start fresh with new seed.

I'm wondering if I covered it with tarps, how long would it take for the grass and weeds to die? I don't want to spray it with herbicide. Temp will be around 75-80 from now until August, then 80-90 until mid-Sept. No rain excepted any time soon.

Thanks.


A solution of one gallon of vinegar with a tablespoon of dish detergent sprayed on weeds kills them dead.

OK, but does it affect germination of the new seed? That is why you
can't use Roundup or similar chemicals.
