Hi all. We moved into a new house a couple years ago. There was a giant flagstone patio that we had removed leaving a sandy bed underneath. I wanted to create some nice soil one year ago so I did the whole compost/cardboard/wood chip thing and waited. I just dug into it yesterday and found another bed of rocks underneath the sand. I was trying to make a “worm highway” that Paul mentions in his backyard book. I could only dig 12 inches down and had to fight my way through rock after rock to even get that far.
My question is: should I just dig out the sand and rocks and haul it away and then put some soil in or should I just start piling soil on top?
Thanks everyone!
