Kill a 60x40 Lawn Fast for an RC Track: Black Plastic, Not Chemicals

Need dirt for an RC track ASAP, no money. Mow scalping low, water well, cover with black plastic (garbage bags work). Weigh it down. Lack of light kills grass in weeks. Watering keeps metabolism active—speeds death.

Keep it weed-free: rake weekly (slices seedlings). Cheap, non-toxic, no Roundup residue on shoes, clothes, kids. A painter’s drop cloth killed grass in a week; a picnic table in a week. Plastic works.
