Level the edge of the circle, from the turf remo
val line up to 30 cm (12") within the circle.
Vou may use an optical or a laser level.
Carefully pack the soil using a tamper tool or
vibrating plate (See illustration 4.1 and 4.2),
especially on those areas where a lot of soil was
added.
lt is also highly recommended to firm up the
edge by adding a 2 cm (3/4") layer of stone dust
(or sand).
The center of the circle can then be excavated
to the desired depth (optional), not to exceed
15 cm (6") for a standard liner (See Illustration
4.3).
