hi
in our driveway we have mostly paved area. However there are three corners where therre is some gardening space. I have tried to put some bulbs in one of the areas and its not too bad.
Other two ares have lot of weed that keeps coming back. i tried using weedkiller and glyphosate but weeds came back after few months. Areas aer relatively small , one is 1 m by 1m and other is 3 m by 2 m.
Weeds can easily be pulled by hand so dont seem to go in very deep! Will try to post a pic later.
Question i want to ask what can i do to get the soil back to semi decent shape so i can plant something?
I was thinking of removing first few inches of soil and replacing with compost/top soil.
1) how deep do i need to dig? hopefully its not so deep such that the paving around these areas is not affected for short time between me removing soil and replacing it!
2) do i fill it with compost or top soil?
