Can I lay turf on this?


Can I lay turf on this soil in its current condition?

There is gravel mixed in, more gravel as you go deeper down.

I live in Scotland where it doesn't get super hot in summer.

    If the soil is very hard I’d recommend you use a tiller to break it up and make it softer/fluffy so that grass roots can penetrate it easily.

    If it is quite soft you can do this since it is not a big area

    Get rid of the rock and you’ll be fine

    Can’t see why it would be an issue, but maybe try and get the rocks out before they’re mixed in with turf. Garden sieve might help?
