Yep! Digging a 3 ft. wide hole and 2 ft. deep for a pear tree in the red clay around here is not booooorrring. I could have put a pick ax to good use, if I had one.
Oh. Well, I have good soil for the first time in my life. Grew up with clay at my folks, moved and had it better, but not like this.
Rocks aside (glacial moraine) this is like gardening show soil. Thought I’d died and gone to heaven. I can dig in it even when it’s dry inches down (drains almost too well). And I could about build a stone wall around my property.
