I've ripped up a large (6m x 6m) area of rotten decking and the frame, and have been presented with a large area of concrete underneath, at about 15/20cm below the level of the rest of the garden area (unsure how thick this concrete is).
I have no idea what to do with this. Get someone in to drill it out and replace with earth and garden? Some how fill it with more concrete? No idea. Where the hell does the water drain off to?

My Daughter has moved into a new build site back in September., lawn layed of rubbish, and full of leather jackets! Now laid a new lawn two weeks ago and already showing signs of being eaten already! Two lots of Nemasys and the bugger's are crawling out everywhere! The whole estate is being eaten away.

Tomatoes, runner beans. corn and sproutsHave you grown veg or salads in it ?
I think it might be the tomatoes. Mulch like hell and rotate the veg, if you don’t like fertiliser. I remember it on Monty’s Gardener’s World once.Tomatoes, runner beans. corn and sprouts

I honestly was wondering why a load of leather jackets were left in the garden.

Is that a plastic shed (there's a joke in there somewhere)?This was my garden just after building my fence a few months ago:

This is it now..View attachment 77871
The wife wants me to replace our wood 6x4 with a bigger shed and I was looking at the plastic ones myself. How easy was it to put up? Any downsides yet?

Try going down one side of it to check the thickness before getting someone in. If it's really thick or even worse reinforced (if it was a garage base for instance) then it'll cost a fortune to get removed.I've ripped up a large (6m x 6m) area of rotten decking and the frame, and have been presented with a large area of concrete underneath, at about 15/20cm below the level of the rest of the garden area (unsure how thick this concrete is).

What's your plan on what's going on top? If it's just to turf it then leave it and just bring up the soil level (maybe a layer of gravel or sand infill first), it won't do any harm. If it's too costly to remove and you're going to plant on top, then is a raised planting bed a possibility? If the level it's at is OK then maybe some nice outdoor tiling with a seating area or big pots?
