Hi everyone!
I'm new in permaculture and this great forum too. I've got some knowledge from internet and read some books about permaculture. I just got an offer to build a garden on land unused for a couple years, maybe decade. One spot is situated in frontyard.It's covered with grass and it got around 25m^2 (269sq ft). Another is in a backyard and it's got around 64m^2 (688sq ft). It's covered with grass, various weeds, some dead trees and there are many rocks and roots in soil.
Other gardeners (conventional) in my country (Slovakia, Central Europe) have sown or they plant seedlings in this time. So my questions are: Which is the fastest way to prepare soil for seeds/seedlings in frontyard? Could I do sheet mulching or tilling and right after it plant/sow? There are another way suitable for this situation? And what about backyard? Do the same as in frontyard or sow clover, lucerne etc. And in fall do sheet mulch and start in spring 2014?
Thanks very much for your answers, opinions, ideas and suggestions
