  • Super exciting, and looking great! Is the first pic of those 3 a roll of lining to put on before the topsoil?

  • Thanks!

    There's actually a blanket that goes underneath that too, to protect the roof rubber - this one acts as a reservoir and root barrier.

    It has the benefit of retaining a lot of the rain that falls, meaning that I can have a water butt, rather than faffing about with a soakaway.

  • Nice! That sounds like a great system, and handy to avoid the soakaway, ends up taking way more room than you expect!

    Are you planning to do anything with the collected water?
