Eh, to hell with the kudzu work right now.

I have a ~60 x ~30 area I can use with plenty of sun. It's all yard grass.

What do I need to be doing now to prep for next year's garden?

Can I use a round up type now and it be dissolved and gone before tilling? Or should I go ahead and rototill it? Or just turn it all over?

I've got plenty of hay. Is it worth covering the area with a heavy layer, remove when ready to til?

I've got way more questions, but school me on the basic prep work first.
