I suspect once all the hard landscaping/clearance is finally done I won’t generate much more of this awful crap, certainly not at the rate I’ve produced it so far!
Hot composter at home not an option for us sadly but will get some board on the go, sure I can scrounge up some offcuts nearby...
@mespilus my partner keeps telling me off for this despite me knowing it’s the right thing to do 😅
Will tell her you said it was ok..
Thanks for the tips everyone, will make a start on all those suggestions.
I reckon I’ve only got another couple of hundred kgs of dirt left to scalp off and deal with so shouldn’t be too bad in the end if I just keep at it bit by bit. I’m trying to break up the scalpings so I keep as much soil as possible and just leave the grassy clumps behind.
Now I know after all these years why rich folk paid people like me to scalp their gardens and just replace with new soil...
On the subject of rich folk, one of our plot neighbours had some burly labourers and a garden designer round the other day measuring up. Surely that’s not a thing right? She came over all excited telling me what they’re going to do for her, was a bit shocked tbh....
I mean, it seems really late to be fucking around with all that now when they could have done it over winter.
