Hi all,
My garden was recently re-landscaped. The earth is full of clay. Since the garden was done it became extremely soft underfoot and very boggy. It would squelch as you walked on it.
I've read that if you remove the turf from the top and fill holes with sand it helps with the drainage.
Am I right in thinking this?
Also, if I removed the turf from the top, is there a tool or something I can buy/rent that will drill deep holes in order to fill with sand? (and is it best with sand or gravel?)
Or is there a better way to improve the drainage of the garden??
Do I even need to remove the turf from the top? Could I just rent some powerful drill with a really long bit on it and drill through the grass and fill with sand?
Excuse all the questions but I'm lost with how to fix this.
Thanks for your help
