Having failed again to maintain a lawn in part of the garden we have decided to create another large shrub bed and minimise the amount of lawn. Once I started to dig I discovered why grass may not have been growing – builder’s rubble. When creating the initial shrub bed I had been told that the builder had buried a lot of rubble in the garden. I had assumed I had found it and excavated it when creating the first bed. However, it seems that the lake of rubble goes further than I first supposed and I can now look forward to a few days heavy digging.
