Hi,
I recently bought a property that had been vacant for about 7 years - as you can imagine, the garden was ever-so-slightly overgrown
I have now managed to get it looking 'reasonably' good. The grass area (which is about 21m x 12m) has a lot of 'stubborn weeds (dandelions) and remnants of bramble bushes throughout it. I am planning to dig the garden over, and returf it. Can anyone please tell me if a good 'turning over' of the soil, then re-turf on top would be likely to keep the weeds and bramble bushes from growing through the new turf, or would I need to get rid of as much weeds as possible?
Many thanks,
Gary
