Preparation

Let’s Build A Garden – Preparation. There is a long-standing proverb about proper preparation. It can make the difference between a good job and an exceptional one. This is as applicable to garden planning as anywhere else. The time you put in now will make a difference.

Soil needs to be a light tilth (weird word), free of stones, clods of earth and raked so roots have a great chance to establish themselves and don’t have to struggle to find their way through the soil. Taking the time to dig in fertilizer, to establish the nutrients your soil needs and to clear debris will pay back.

The secret to creating a beautiful lawn lies in the ground preparation. Here are the basics …..

There are five crucial steps to laying turf properly

  1. Clearing the ground
  2. Improve the soil
  3. Create a firm level surface and feed the soil
  4. Lay turf carefully
  5. Keep new turf well-watered.

But its not just the soil that needs preparing. Is your existing turf staying or are you replacing it?

Generally speaking, the darker the colour of bagged soil, the more organic matter it contains. This topsoil from Turfonline is ideal for growing fruit n veg or for improving existing soil quality.
