Well done Mark! Hard slog but it's worth it to get the prep right. When you're sitting out next year admiring your emerald turf you'll be grateful you made the effort
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Spent the weekend doing one of the borders, used the axe to break it up. Then added a Bulk bag of Manure, and am now half way through turning it over with a spade. I've got a couple of Bulk bags of top soil to go on top.
The soil is looking lots better already, it may be a bit sad, but it was very satisfying when the spade went all the way in and turned over easily. Hoping to get the border done this week, so I can buy my first plants. very very excited about planting taht first one..
Thank you all for your kind advice - its been amazing to have someone to get guidance from.
