Charles, you certainly strike a chord with me. Recently built a new house on a hilly piece of land. Spent about £4,500 on having good soil taken from site in order to level. Wife is now buying top soil from our local garden centre by the bag! I suspect we are buying our own soil back! Plus, having removed most of the good soil we are now faced with mostly clay.

Not meaning to be rude but this seems like madness, normally you put the top soil to the side with plant and then spread it at the end. Why did you have it all taken away?
