Hi Hogweed, oh yes the rake has been a massive help, 4 bags down and 2 to go, I think I may have over ordered by 1 bag though, any ideas on how to dispose of 1 tonne of topsoil?
I couldn't help looking back to the beginning of your thread Mr Toast and what a transformation A lot of hard work has gone into your garden and I expect you are looking forward to sitting down occasionally to reflect on your achievement. The other problem may be that you are thoroughly bitten by the gardening bug
You were talking earlier about some raised beds to double as seating so I'd keep the bag out of sight somewhere (if possible) until you're ready to do those. Even a few raised beds will use a lot of soil so worth keeping for those.
Or you can send it to me - I've got new grass to do in spring as well
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
well done mr.toast! I took a look at this at the beginning and am thrilled to see what you've achieved. and yes, your garden is for you, not for others,it must work for you and your family.

You have done really well Mr Toast. Bet your big rake has come in handy now!

And you will be surprised how much it goes down once you have trodden it a few times. And yes, raised beds are calling for any left over topsoil!
I can not tread today, I am exhausted. Here are some pics of today's efforts

Fabulous! SIt down and open a beer! Tramping can wait another day but is quite hard work!
Treading commences at 9am tomorrow, depending on the weather and how many beers I drink.
Not too many beers MrT - you don't wobbly lines
