Lay New Turf

Hi everyone,

I need some advice please about laying new turf to a damaged area of a lawn.

I accidentally spilt some weed killer on my lawn and the grass has subsequently died. I have removed that area of about 50cm x 50cm. The exposed are is uneven so I need to fill it with something to level it before I can lay some new turf. What's the best soil to lay? Many thanks in advance.

    Either fill it in with soil from your borders or buy a bag of ji no. 2 or MPC if you have any handy. For an area that size you could just level and firm it and then sow some grass seed.
