Rotavating for New Lawn Turf

Rotavating for New Lawn Turf video. This is an older video that I've re-edited, to remove some parts that were irrelevant and I've added some additional notes in the video for clarity. This garden transformation project was great to do, but the soil was like iron. What should have been a 2-3hr job, took nearly 7hrs in the end. But the effort was worth it. When I post up the final video with the turf laid, fencing finished, borders, and swing area in place, you'll see. Hope you enjoy the video.
