Which is right..?
Xref: kermit uk.rec.gardening:170233
Hi All This is more newbie question from a newbie gardener for you. I am planning to lay slabs in our middle of the backgarden, so we can have extra patio ares and also put a shed there. I ahve not done this work before, and I was watching TV DIY program, and also read DIY books from the library. But they are teling different stories. The books says that you must dig 1 ft deep, and then put hardcore for 0.5 ft and level it, then put sand and then slabs can be laid on it. Tommy Walsh in H&L channel DIY program was teaching his students - just make motar (5 builders sand + 1 cement), and he just put them on the flattened soil, and then laid slabs on it. No hardcore, no sand.. - surely this will create drainage problem, and due to soil movement - slabs will go up and down in a few years? What do you advise on this? cheers Dan |
