4. Use cardboard to kill grass.

Supplies Required: Compost, mulch, or cardboard sheets Making It Cost: $20* Your grass doesn't have to be turned into a planting bed by hours of backbreaking shovelling. All you really need, instead, are a few cardboard sheets. Use cardboard sheets to cover the grass where you wish to create a low-maintenance bed. Put the sheets in a shingle arrangement.

After two months, wait to take the cardboard off. You'll discover that the soil has absorbed the nutrients and social structure needed for the growth of fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants.
