Hi everyone,

Glad to have found this forum with lots of helpful advice.

We have just moved into a place with a back garden which is paved and
covered in gravel. Beneath the gravel is a liner, placed there to
prevent protrusion of weeds.

Are there any precautions of special preparations we should take before
planting this area (as lawn, or for vegetable) once we've removed the
gravel and lining?

Many thanks,

Pike.

The two main problems with ground covered like this are compaction and
lack of humus (organic matter) I would include plenty of bulky organic
matter when rotatavating as others have suggested
