I moved to SC where we have sand down as far as I can dig. Holy Cow!!! You did some work!!! Greenville is in the piedmont...trees, trees, trees with roots that zig zagged across the surface because we got so much rain.

Never thought I would learn to hate trees! Trees, concrete, blacktop, weeds that grew in solid matts, root eating critters, and rats that invaded my garage in broad daylight!

For all that, one of the best gardens I've grown was in the heat and sand of El Paso, TX !!! Fun stuff, huh!?!

LOL Don’t give me more credit then I earned. I was still at ground level so the hole was only a shovel handle deep. But yeah it’s been interesting. A much different gardening learning curve then where I grew up in Iowa. I lived for 20 years in Orlando so learned a lot there.
