Thanks again for your helpful advice
One of the fella's on sight came over with his petrol strimmer and leveled the lot for me. Their was a wee bit of mares tail but only the odd bit. I spent the whole of yesterday raking up the cuttings, it was great. I got a little burnt though, silly me. I think i am going to go down today and move the carpets about and plant some things out. Im going to concentrate on the bottom half for the moment so ill cover the top half.
