My preference is as follows... If you can dig up the sod, Donn's method. If you can't dig up the sod, lasagna the place. I will usually let the lasagna sit for a season though and you won't have the time. I wanted to put a garden along the ditch on our front lawn in this space around the birch... ... and here it is a couple of weeks later with Buddleias and winter sown newbies last year in late August I think. You should see everything filling in this year. You won't kill all the sod which you turn over but if you are diligent about weeding it once a week the task becomes less tedious. Now I can go by a couple of weeks without seeing any weeds resurface from the old lawn. The soil is really beautiful. I make lagnas in areas where we've cleared the brush - too many roots for me to start dealiing with it.

It sounds very intriguing. I am considering growing orchids outdoors permanently attached to tree limbs. Your idea sounds like it could work for the 2-3 nights a year when the weather dips below 40 degrees in my part of Florida. I could hang the heat pack from a hook under the mounted orchids and tent the whole area with the mylar blanket overnight. Unfortunately, I'll have to wait seven or eight months to try it.
