I have a very large garden, that needs tidying up. its basically a

Im not sure if i should rotavate it or throw top soil on.

Any one any ideas?

You don't tell us much. There is not to be gaioned by simply churning up
rubble if that is all there is. How do you know what is under the surface?
Have you been all around and dug holes to see? You might be surprised if
you haven't.

The nature of the base and the rubble are important, as is the size of the
plot, your budget and your hopes. "Large" garden could be 1/10 th of an
acre or 10 acres depending on your background. What is growing there now?
What do you want to do there? How much time and money can you afford to put
into this?
