- 1). Pick the large chunks of grass up from the ground with your hands. Shake any loose soil off of the chunks. Use a small hand shovel to break large pieces of soil off of the grass clump to use in the garden. Throw the grass in the trash or compost pile.
- 2). Rake over the tilled area, once the large pieces are gone. Raking will collect and remove the smaller pieces of grass. You'll likely have to make several passes over the area to remove the grass. The rake typically leaves a small amount of grass; however, you'll address this situation later. Use a metal rake -- wooden or plastic rakes typically aren't strong enough to remove the grass and soil.
- 3). Lower the tiller two more clicks and make two more passes over the dirt area. This process typically destroys any remaining grass and loosens up the soil so that it becomes light and manageable.
