Yes I mean both.. remember this layer is merely the drainage, I'd be looking for the finished soil mix to be 50% grit and sand, then walk it down. You can add a touch of compost, but only a very small amount. Shove your topsoil on top, rake it then turf.. Should mean aside from a little bit of feed and scarifying once a year.. your lawn should be a cinch to maintain. Good Luck.
Sorry, must be me. Can you explain what you mean exactly. I dig the soil and add the grit and sand for every 5 sq meter and then i add topsoil or do i make up a topsoil, in addition to the grit and sand layer already laid, to be 50% grit and sand and 50% topsoil? Thanks for the input.
the grit and the sand go with the soil you already have. Dig it all in, then lightly 'walk it down' and rake reasonably level. THEN put your topsoil on top. You can add some sharp sand to this too if you wish, all a matter of preference.
