If i had 9 acres itd be easier... i could find a grassy patch and tell her "thats the garden right there!" 🤣

Sadly it seems there is indeed clay in it.... lots of small stones too. Its not very good mud i guess.

In terms of fixing, you could do splines across the joints as previously mentioned, or if taping and gluing, once set, you could easily dovetail pin the joints. If you wanted, you could use a small drill bit to pilot the holes for accurate pinning, or drill out 6 or 8mm holes and dowel them (...

Work out your cutting list, then buy more than.you need.... something like 10 / 20% more. Firstly, because mistakes happen, secondly because you'll use it eventually anyway.....

Just to add to other's suggestions, if you do as colin said and draw round your hexagons, you can.pilot drill through to the back side for perfect placement , but when you put the screw through, use short offcuts 9f copper pipe as spacers to allow the light a gap to get up behind the...

Yep, that's why i dont eat humus despite delia smith claiming its nice 😆 Thanks for the double digging explanation. I should say though, along with being time poor, im often out of energy in the evenings, so digging once is unlikely ( hence a rotavator 😆 ) and digging twice isnt gonna happen...

Ive got first dibs on the cheapest one 😆🤣

As my above post, i probably wont need it, but it was a thought that occurred to me after reading your 3m x 1.5m entry in the options box. Not many people would have the room for that, but even the small mft tables could benefit from extra capacity, especially if it can slot on and off. I might...

Yes, retrospective add ons 👍 i probably wont 'need' this as I'll mark a width or length and trim it, but if i really wanted to crosscut a full sheet regularly, it would be an option

Ok, will get a photo tomorrow in the daylight. Thanks for the help everyone 👍

Nope 😔 I did do a search around for a small skidsteer, but nothing local at a good price 😉 an avant loader would be helpful but not at a big cost

I have a couple of makita 18v brushless circ saws, they are a good balance of power, weight etc. The only thing to remember is to keep the blades in reasonable condition as they sap power big style when blunt

Hopefully the drawing is more illustrative...... in doing so i changed the design a bit. The additional tabs could be located using a 2nd thickness, which goes under the mft, located with 20mm dowels and maybe pinned with a screw? This would ensure correct alignment and easily removed

Mud 😆 Ok, thanks. We dug down about 18" to sink in a cable and it was just 'soil' I'm not into mud so i cant really define its composition, but it wasnt shillet, we arent in a chalky area and it seemed like bog standard mud 😄 Tris, when you say double dig......🤔

Buy whatever you want doug..... Put a different way, buy it, try it, if you dont like it you can sell it 'hardly used' in a couple of weeks and get most of the money back...... or, of it's fantastic, let us know how / why! 👍

Heres a thought. I read the setup options box and thought the 3m x 1.5 would be useful, then thought I could domino on a couple of tabs of mdf, say 100mm wide and on opposite sides of a sheet and using the jig, route matching holes, therefore extending the crosscut to a full sheet off the dogs...

As in rotavate? Theres only really grass on one bit now, the rest is just mud....

Is the general feeling that i shouldnt rotavate?

Yep, when I laid it after the groundworks i watered it regularly, but that was towards the end of a summer ☀️

Thanks for the replies, I'll check the link tbis evening ( we are off out now ) I was leaning towards turf as it's an instant lawn and will keep the mrs quiet ( well it'll be one less problem 😉 )
