Our villa was built on what was formerly a field. So, good earth all round (in theory). The truth is i suspect a lot of it disappeared as topsoil for another project. Digging is a mixed bag. Some of the earth is lovely and some has builders crap in it. Including a brand new plug for one of the sinks. I would like to find another one and live in hope when I dig that I find one. At least it would fit the sink. I have bought two previously that were a fraction too small. Maybe we should hold a plug swap shop, LOL!
LL I will suggest Mouse ear. If himself fancies murdering the existing lawn to redo it with Mouse Ear, hey, we'll go for it.
