We are having approx 50m2 of turf removed in our garden to create a patio and some beds for espaliered trees. I have the option of getting the company to take it all away but it seems silly to remove matter from our garden rather than use it on site.
I am also creating a kitchen garden by covering a large area with cardboard and putting raised beds and paths onto it. (I do not want the paths to be made of grass! Maybe patio offcuts as stepping stones with creeping thyme.)
Can I put the turf upside down at the bottom of the raised beds and cover with topsoil? I know I can compost it separately then put that into the beds, but it seems like I could save a step here.
ETA: I am in the UK, if that makes a difference, so it’s pretty wet and temperate.
