Hello,
This may sound nuts, but I have a problem with excess dirt.
.
I am going to put soakaway drains in my yard to handle some poor drainage
conditions. I have a generally flat yard. The lot is about 3/4 acres.
It's a typical builders lot with about 4 inches of loam over sandy, clay,
rocky hardpan soil. Basically, its crap. I am going to be digging out a
couple of long trenches 2' wide x 2' deep, filling it with stone, etc
.
The problem...what do I do with all the lousy soil that gets dug out?
Sounds like a crazy question, but I have no place to put it. I guess i
need some ideas on what can be done.
.
Thank you for your time.




Put it in a place where you'd like to have flower beds in the
not-too-distant future. Add organic matter and make it into better soil.
