Keep in mind you damage the soil when you dig up wet soil. Best to leave room between ones you want to dig up and try to disturb as little as possible.

- carapace 3y agoYears and years ago, before the Internet, I saw a lady being interviewed on some gardening show who had been gardening organically for a billion years or something. At one point she sticks her arm into her garden bed up to the shoulder, and casually says something like, "you should be fluffy and lose a yard deep"... This was rich dark lovely soil with all kinds of plants booming up out of it, and she can reach into it w/o digging arm-deep. Something to think about, eh?

- throwawaaarrgh 3y agoSure, loam is a great thing to shoot for, but most people have a hard time making really good soil. It's much harder than just growing an average plant in less ideal soil
- carapace 3y ago> most people have a hard time making really good soil Isn't it strange? I mean, that's literally what life does: make really good soil, eh?
