hey,
I've had a LARGE amount of Sand / top soil added to my garden to raise and level it.
Sand layer then top soil ontop. To help it drain into the land drains positioned around the edges.
Its all then captured within a surround of Patio (Cement base) and 20cm deep buried sleepers.
The new turf which has been down for 2 weeks, has got areas where its super squishy, any idea how I resolve this? I could roller it, but I'm worried it would just sink. Of course, when its established, I can add some top soil in any low bits to help it later in the summer. Is this my only approach?
My second issue is Leather Jackets. I've found quite a few when I lifted some bits to see how the roots were coming along.
Anyone got any advise to stop the issues before they happen?
Thanks all!
