And because of your pry bar, the ground became smooth and even on its own?
That was my neighbor’s idea. When I finished rolling, I almost cried because everything was so uneven.
Then he gave me two angle irons. We drilled holes in one and then threaded the rope through.
At first, I turned the iron so that two ends were on the bottom and the tip pointed upwards. I simply placed the second iron on top there for more weight.
And then go at it hard. Always up and down, sometimes pulled slightly diagonally. It became smoother each time. Then I flipped the iron and only dragged the flat side over it repeatedly like in the picture.
At some point, you can see where something is still missing to become truly even. There I gradually dumped additional topsoil cart by cart, roughly spread it with the rake, and then leveled it again.
And always looked at it from different angles.
What made it harder for me was that I didn’t have sieved topsoil. Because of that, larger, stone-hard clumps of earth (thumb-sized) kept getting stirred up. I searched them out again.
If you have sieved topsoil, it should go significantly better. In the next few days, I want to apply the seed.
