what are you intending to do with your garden is it just flowers  and hedges or will you grow veg?

the compost you have at the moment you could always add to any soil now and it will just rot into the soil.

Cool - will look there. Did you get some cotoneasters off us?

Garden will have veg plot (raised beds with new pressure treated sleepers) behind the garage, about 20 feet square with green house.

Rest will be a patio and low wall (for kiddies to ride bikes on), lawn (to play games on), and borders with normal plants. Possibly a playhouse too in the corner. Will see how things go.
