Mine was largely comprised of construction debris, and I’m still pulling bricks out of the ground, but my soil is rallying. It also seems to have opinions about what it will and will not grow ;)

My soil grows rocks best.

But I can get a decent crop of veggies out of the garden.

I bet I could sell ordinary bags of dirt if I had, "SOIL WITH OPINION" written on the bag.

What are you asking for the bricks?

We did a remodel some 20 years ago and wondered why the yard seemed to be higher and rain flowed toward the door. Yep, they buried the debris. It would have taken less effort to haul it off like they were supposed to and what we paid for.

That said, grandma couldn’t grow anything here, either, so don’t understand why. It’s seems to be perfectly good soil but it’s hard to grow anything but weeds. I finally gave up trying to garden. Seeds would germinate but wouldn’t produce. I can grow big tomato plants but nothing would ever get them to produce. Transplants wouldn’t do anything and mostly die. Even berry bushes would immediately die. Something toxic is in the soil so it’s probably in our drinking well, too.
