Fuck that claysoil
a good 6 hours just with the rotavator, It's from screwfix 70£ and actually very good for the money. Ideally the soil needs to be dry and not claysoil lol.
A few different things you can add to improve it and I've went for the cheapest compost I could find lol, 320 Litres or 4 big massive bags at 40kg each I'm sure. You add compost and basically mix it through with the rotavator, this will help it dry out and stop clumping together hopefully lol so they say.
Started rain earlier so will have to leave it now until its dried out.
Will do the drainage next tho.
Pulled the old central heating pipes and wiring out too, was thinking I was in for a nice wee bit of copper scrap but pvc pipes fslool.
Pulled the cable through and left it in the corner beside the back window, can use that for an outdoor socket for the hot tub and some fancy lights now
