We had to do this in several places, some of them quite big.
Hubby cut the area into 18" squares and then lifted these by cutting under
with the spade to a depth of 3".
Then the holes were filled and jumped upon before puting the turves back
in
their original positions.
It all knitted together and settled down nicely - Like Ern' you can't see
the join now!


Interesting ... could be worth it. Just wish it'd get a little warmer.
Wanted to cut the grass today but it keeps snowing!! Any particular soil
type best to stick underneath it? I've still got some left in a 200l Irish
Peat Moss bag. Could get some topsoil or normal compost if that'd be
better? Mind you, I don't want it to be more fertile than the grass around
it and grow faster/greener!

On a side point - how does peat moss and normal compost differ in
application?
