We've just removed a tree and the stump from our lawn.
We're intending sowing need seed where the stump/tree used to be.
However, obviously (!), where the tree/stump used to be, there is now a hole. We've partially filled this back in with the soil/grass that we lifted when digging the hole itself.
We're going to have to buy some more soil. What soil should we be using when doing this? Should we mix any sharp sand in?
Also, when we dug the hole we lifted some of the grass that was immediately around the tree/stump. Is it ok just to lump this back into the hole (but below ground level - e.g. 6 inches or a foot down), or will this cause problems later down the line (levelling/drainage?).
