the wetter it is, the tighter it packs down

Only up to a point. If it gets too wet, you cannot compact it.

It should be moist, but never wet.

Oh. So what happens if it has been raining ?

That depends how heavy the rain is.

I can't imagine real groundworkers waiting for it to dry out!

Just because you cannot imagine it doesn't mean that it doesn't
happen.

You're welcome.

I just had an image of lots of burly blokes sitting on deck chairs and
