I could do but I may lose the children at some point. Nah I want a nice
garden

Stab it all over with a fork and add lawn sand. Several times, judging by
how wet you say it is. And try to keep kids and dogs off it till it dries
out a bit.

Hi Steve

thanks for the reply.

When you say "lawn sand" would that be sharp sand from a builders merchants?
Or am I wrong here. I am no gardener and need to know where I would buy it
from, thanks
