Along the south side of the house, I turned over the sod and laid two 4' x 4' boards across the area in an effort to kill the grass. Although we don't have a yard on the south side, we do have a small sliver of land, just perfect for planting some beans and soaking-up the heat off the house.
Monday evening I dugout the sod, dug out an additional 20" in depth, and then loosened the soil beneath. For a moment, it looked like a shallow grave. I then put the dead sod back in the hole first, followed by the cleaner soil.
As night fell, I planted 12 pole beans into the newly softened soil. I had grown the pole beans indoors; most were about 6" in height with two fully grown leaves.
