Hi rajah, yes, the concrete will have had some bearing on the ph and
also the fact that the soil has been under this concrete for awhile will
also tend to make it more alkaline. I feel that your natural ph must be
high, have you checked the ph of the soil away from the shed base to
compare ? Its very hard to change basic ph levels and I'd suggest that
you plant things which like lime. Having done what youve done re the
sand and FYM, you can plant when ever you want, theres no reason to
leave it.

Hi,
Yes ive just finished testing various other parts of the garden. they
too are around neutral to alkaline.
So perhaps the concrete isnt having so much effect on the alkanity of
the soil under the concrete.

Ive a mind to added more fertiliser and a few bags of topsoil to the
underlying soil before adding plants to it.

thanks for the feedback.

Plant alfalfa. It likes neutral to slightly alkaline, fixes nitrogen,
puts down deep roots, and will be a great benefit to whatever follows if
you grow it for a while and turn it under.
