The builder's holidays are nearly over and work has finally started on the back lawn. They are digging out 60cm of rubble and will build a water sump in the middle of the garden for drainage purposes. All rainwater from the garden and rooves will go there and eventually dissipate into the substrate as I understand it.
The grass has been watered regularly over the past 6 weeks and is thriving. Unfortuantely for the hedge, some of the saplings did not survive. This does not seem to have anything to do with my watering. Lots of other houses on the street have the same problem. Have to get on to them about it.
