Default Which is right..?

The message
from (Nick Maclaren) contains these words:

You then want to use 2" of sharp sand to lay the slabs on. You CAN
lay slabs straight on soil (I have done a lot of that), but it is a
right pain in the neck unless the soil is (a) very sandy and (b) very
dry. I wouldn't advise it, starting now.


Don't forget to leave a small hollow right in the middle of where each
slab will be so you can (lightly) tamp them down level with each-other.
