    i am moving into a new house and the builder is preparing the land. The houses are built on what was the back garden to a house but most of it was land that was simply left to trees and grass. He has rotovated part of our land and added top soil to the top. I understand the amount varies from very little to not a lot. the surface looks quite fine with some small stones
    i am keen to get shrubs and flowers into this part as quick as possible and leave the vege plot for the time being. what do you suggest i need to do before i start planting? Do you think it may be enough to add compost to the top?

    Yes Marjorie just add compost.
    Then plant. The roots can be either in compost or in soil or both.
    Your soil will gradually recover under the compost.
