Let's do the maths! I think you should find something more productive to do. There’s no need for maths as it would work with a conventional setup. I just won’t be doing that either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a bit of 110mm soil.....or a stiff cardboard tube etc if you haven't got the duct yet. Bean/soup can at a push! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daiking Posted March 29, 2018 Author Share Posted March 29, 2018 Day 2, massive trench in the garden. Trusting builder to put 2 ducts in the correct place before pouring concrete.

Not a great loss, its like a ploughed field with grass growing on it. I need a lawn mower with tracks not wheels. I need a new fork but I’ll be spending Easter Sunday forking and raking the newly compacted soil over the top of the grass.

I don't want to start from scratch, I'm blindly optimistic that with a little bit of care the grass will grow through its new 'covering' of soil. edit: I just meant stabbing the fork into the ground many, many times, not turning the ground over with it.
