Cardboard works too. Last winter (not this one we just had, but tree previous one), I covered the grass with cardboard, then covered that with alfalfa hay. Then let the rabbit have free reign in there, to help fertilize. Then I fenced it and planted tomatoes. When I dug up the dirt, the previously clay dirt was nice and fluffy and there were worms everywhere. Then I just added grass clippings whenever grass poked through. Easiest garden ever.
