Hi,
We are slowly progressing with our garden project, and needed some much required advice in regards to the amount of soil there should be ontop of chalk, for a good future proof gardening friendly base.
In the process of landscaping we took the ground down a considerable amount in order to make it more level throughout. All of that excess has been taken away.
We have some bit more to go, maybe around 30cm in depth.
The problem is just under the 30cm, we hit chalk ground.
Hence we are wondering if we scrape the remaining soil to the side and dig out the chalk, how much should we take out?
How much soil should there really be above the chalk for us to be able to grow plants trees in the future should we need to.
Your help would be most appreacited
Thanks in advance.
