I moved into a new house which was built on old farm land.
The dirt is
pretty crappy. Hard and clay like. The builder seeded the
lot with
tall fescue which managed to grow ok. The lawn still looks a
pale green

soil quality
in my yard? I've heard one suggestion of having top soil
brought in.
How pricey would that be?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks

Geez - on old farm land - there has to be some decent top soil
pretty
close by.

yep. it was not hauled all that far away just after it was
scraped
off and loaded on trucks. see, later after the newcomer decides
how
they'd like to have a lawn the same original top soil can be sold
back to them. seems it's really all about maximum profits and
profitability.

Unless its been farmed to shit!

funny you should mention shit or maybe I should refer to the
substance as chicken droppings. did you know organically
certified
produce must be grown without man made chemical fertilizers?
guess
what we sometimes use in the place of those man made chemical
fertilizers?

No shit ?


excrement for the more so called refined.


Paul is on a lot of peoples fecal roster.


I have to wonder how is it the parents know to name
them paul. or could possibly be once named paul it's
all down hill from there?
