    Depends on how strong the flow is. You can trot a float down the river, ie let it drift with the bait just touching bottom, or you can leger which is something like a heavy feeder (tube which you put bait in) which holds it fixed in one place and when the rod tip bends you dive in with a knife between your teeth. :)

    Ive been trying to sort that out today

    I can find prices for topsoil per tonne but no where says how much inch-age I need it depth what ever!

    anyone know?

    Try this site Nelly:

    http://www.topsoil.co.uk/product-calculator.html

    Looks like 6" for a re-turf. (Never know we went metric, would you...)


    PS NOW will you do my ceilings for free? ;)

    You're not smoking the grass by any chance?

    If you are turfing the lawn, the amount of soil that comes with the turf varies but mine has been about an inch or so (the soil ok!). If you are using seed, just take the soil to the level that you want. A little too much top soil is usually easy to get rid off. Order too little and it gets annoying.

    Feels like it at the moment! Although a wendy house would probably have a better finish.

    How high do you want the lawn? Ten feet of topsoil and you will be able to watch the birds while you lay in bed.

    Like I said to the Mrs, a couple of inches is plenty.
