What is the easiest way to destroy the grass in my lawn. I want to plant a variety of local flowers, grass and ferns.

I don’t want to use anything that would harm insects and I would prefer not to take it up in sod because the loam is very thick in rocks.

Would a power tiller work to destroy the grass? Maybe a tarp over the grass?

Thanks in advance.

    I cleared an area of lawn for my container garden years ago using a tarp. I just covered the area, using lawn staples to keep it down. The next year, the grass underneath was completely broken down, barely any remnants being left.
