my garden has been a blank canvas for a few years now, got rid of the grass and laid gravel 7 ton to be precise the main problem is that it holds water as the ground is a clay like soil base, i intend to raise the garden area to be grassed about 10" clear of the natural water table this can be done with the existing gravel base + membrane and top soil with turf laid over the top ... is this the best way of doing the job or would you add anything to the top soil say cinders or sand before laying the turf which is going to be the hardest wearing , i know nothing about gardening "i just want decent grass and a nice boarder" ( the nights who say kneeeee) thats the wife has given these intructions any green fingers out there
