Hello All, I have what was an old pond/roman bathing pool in my garden. To give some context it's 230cm (L) x 150cm (w) and approx 100cm deep. I would like to get rid of this, and redo the whole garden. I am thinking of having a nice clean lawn. I have started to demolish the pond. The base has been broken, and now going step by step. However I don't know if I should fill the hole with the broken concrete and rubble, or to break and fill it with soil? Looking on sites a 1ton bag of soil, is around £70, and I will likely need three to fill it, which is fine. I will likely need more, for the rest of the garden, nonetheless. Main question is with the broken rubble. Do I fill the hole with it, or remove it all, fill with soil? Thank You

Hi All, I previously removed an exterior brick wall in order to extend lounge. Where my new slab extension meets the old bungalow cavity wall, I need to decide what to do with the cavity that goes down to a depth of approx. 800mm to the footings before I lay down my new floor slab. The old bungalow floor has been dug up in order to install 300mm EPS with UFH in 100mm meshed concrete. The attached pic shows the new extension to the right of the cavity with sand blinded hardcore floor of bungalow to the left. My options as I see it: 1) Leave cavity as it is and just cover the cavity with 300mm EPS. 2) Fill cavity (with gravel / concrete) 3) Fill with EPS beads I have plenty of beads at my disposal, so I am tempted to go with option 3. TIA! OB
