preparation of ground for shed
Last weekend we tore down the remains of our old garden shed, which was
slowly rotting from the bottom up. I now have to prepare space for the new shed. The old shed was placed on top of a number of breezeblocks, spaced out, and with strips of lino on the top. I think some cement powder had also been mixed with the soil, though any coherence it had is long gone and it's now just a powdery layer a few centimeters down. I deduce from the fact that the bottom of our old shed rotted first that simply balancing it on breeze blocks was not the best approach (though to be fair, I don't know how old the shed was, and it had been neglected for some time before we moved in.) What would be a better way? I have a bunch of 2x2 paving slabs I could lay - would that be appropriate? And can I just stick them down on the gravel* then bung the shed on top, or would it be better to mortar them as well? Victoria * all our soil is gravel. This bit just doesn't have much topsoil on top. -- gardening on a north-facing hill in South-East Cornwall -- |
