But it could act like a wind break and hugelkultur.....

For the sod cutter, I was hoping to scalp off as little top soil as possible. Could I get away with just removing an inch? Would that get all the grass crowns or do I need to go deeper?

Hester, one suggestion from a fellow gardener was to leave grass in the paths and dig a trench to keep the grass from getting into the beds. Apparently a 3 to 4" deep straight sided trench will keep the grass from going past it. Like a moat of air.

Mike Haasl wrote:Thanks John, I do have the offer of a tractor with a tiller. I'm worried that, based on personal experience, the tiller will cut the sod into a bajillion pieces and then some fraction of those pieces will be close enough to the surface to return to life. Then all my new gardeners will have to stay on top of plucking the chunks of sod before they get re-established. On my own large garden we "harvested" a couple wheelbarrows full of small sod pieces. I'm not sure I want to rely on new gardeners to stay on top of that task.
But it would keep all the soil and fertility on the plots so it's definitely an option...

"The rule of no realm is mine. But all worthy things that are in peril as the world now stands, these are my care. And for my part, I shall not wholly fail in my task if anything that passes through this night can still grow fairer or bear fruit and flower again in days to come. For I too am a steward. Did you not know?" Gandolf

Then we can bring in a few inches of compost with the cost defrayed from the sale of the sod. Then use the tractor and tiller to work in the compost along with any other amendments suggested by a soil test.
