Pretty much just some foothills loam. Lots of good organic matter, on top of clay.
On this end of town, we get a lot of runoff, so it stays damp, and I keep things pretty packed with critters by virtue of planting lots of native stuff. So there’s a shit ton of worms aerating, we get chipmunks, voles, and the occasional whistle pig. Squirrels love burying shit too.
So the top six to eight inches is almost like well churned potting soil. Just this black, rich soil with occasional pebbles.
Can I get a truckload of dirt while I’m there? Soil here is sand with a bit of red clay. Organic layer is only 1-3" deep. Only place I can find the good stuff is at my camp in the swamp where the water occasionally gets high.
What kind of soil you got?!
