    I am sorting out the pond left by the previous owner. I need to fill some of the existing hole with some earth / dirt.


    Does anyone know where I can get this without having to pay a lot of money at a garden centre?
    A it is just for filling a hole it can be of any type, even little stoned should do.

    thanks

    fill the worst with rubble then the rest with topsoil (aprox 5" if turfing)

    Dont buy from a gardencentre unless a very small area. you can buy a bulk bag (1 ton ) for around �£35 inc deliv.

    hi,

    i'll be making a smaller pond in the same place so i may use rubble and cover it with sand.

    Any idea where i can get rubble?

    Not sure, but you could ask your local authority, gardens department?

    If you've got transport, try Freecycle. There's always people wanting to get rid of rubble.
