I can't remember where I read it though or if it's a good idea and I guess it may be that she's not ready and I'm just impatient!

There are many spur - thighs, ibera, graeca, libyan, just to name three:0)
I live in the SE uk, and the weather here has been odd this year, but my females have already laid, but one usually lays twice, but not so far this year:0)
You can put them in a box of earth, but it never worked for mine, (that does not mean it does not work) but they can be really fussy and will lay where they want to rather than where we would like them too. I have seen one of my females trying to dig on slabs, so mine prefer hard dry soil. Its just a matter of waiting to see what your female likes :0)
