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?

Basically i can get rid of bits of rubble thats been caused by digging big trees out and really want to level it best i can, 1/6 of the garden i did by digging and turning over, altho it looks well it was hard work. So with me been not knowing much about gardening, for all i know a rotavator would do the trick but i wouldnt just go ahead and do it thats why i asked for advice. all thats growing is grass maybe a few weeds. At the moment im just wanting to get it level as possible and grassed for the children so its safe. oh i taken a concret path from the middle too so they is bits of rubble from there.


Thanks for replying
