Yes, flower bed, or put it in Craiglist as free crap dirt for folks to come
pick it up themselves if they need this type of dirt to fill in low areas in
their own property, etc.

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.
