As my (still unfinished) raised beds are relatively shallow, I opted to remove the turf. I think the trick is like most things, to use the right tool. My father-in-law lent me a special rounded spade with a slight dog-leg just above the blade. This is designed specifically for removing turf and does the job really well. Once you get the knack it cuts the effort required by at least half, probably more so.

I should have saud at the time IHM, sorry!

Are you feeling better now or still waiting for an op?

Oh well put my size 10's in it in again!     If your going to put raised beds on grass you'd better put weed suppresent fleece down.  

No no - that just limits the depth of the bed - don't be lazy, do the job properly!

pleeease don't use any nasty chemicals  :cry: the frogs hate them as they breath through their skin (and they are your best line of defense against the slugs!) just a sheet of membrane, like the stuff you put under gravel should do it.
