Years 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?

- 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?
