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 to yellow in areas. Any suggestion on how to build up the 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.
Unless its been farmed to shit!


Is that supposed to be a pun ? Cow shit or chicken shit ? Even if it
has been harvested without fertilization (unlikely) the soil should still
be nice and loose and strong enough to grow grass.

Someone sold the top soil years ago. That ain't no farm.
