What equipment to dig for new large garden?

I want to turn the grass over and then cover it with newspaper to kill the grass and weeds, then solarize before fall planting. We are planning on renting the equipment. We live in the suburbs, so we're not talking acres here. What should we rent? Any other suggestions, words of caution, advise etc would be appreciated. Karen Quote \| Reply \| Report
