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

Back to a serious point with the garden. Can you hire a Rotavator and just turn the lot over a couple of times to level it out a bit first?A house isn't a home without a cat.
Those are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others.
I have writer's block - I can't begin to tell you about it.
You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.

Nelly, there are turf companies that will rotavate then flatten it with a wacker then lay turf.You shoudn't need topsoil and in any case it will need wacking before you lay turf on it..................

I was thinking of doing the donkey work myself, I been reading subsoil isnt adequate for turfing.
The other thing is would I be better off working a saturday to pay a gardener to do it.
Say I earn 100 quid a day and a gardener 50 then I'd be better off working and paying him...unless It'd take me twice as long as him then I'd have not benefitted from working
Can I ask sara beeny to do it for me?................. in a bikini too 0 -
I don't guess your turf laying will be as good as your plastering. Get a man in, he'll have all the kit and will have practiced on other people. It'll take you 3 times as long becuase you'll be breaking off every 10 mins to gawp at the gels floating past on their crooked boyfriends cabin cruisers. Or you'll find some other excuse !
Hang on - where's the topsoil, the garden's been there for donkey's, it ain't a new build ! Did previous owners take it with them? Sue 'em !.....................I'm smiling because I have no idea what's going on ...:)0
