Hi,

I am terracing a slope on our yard. I am unsure whether
to put in topsoil or just mix manure or compost into the
existing soil. Wouldn't the latter allow a higher
concentration of plant matter?


Hi, Gary

My "soil" is sand. So I added topsoil/loam/ster/chicken
manure.
I add manure every year. My plants seem to like the way I
feed
them.

Also, I will need to temporarily move some plants while
terracing. What is best to do with those plants until
replanted?

Thanks,
Gary

The best and easiest way is to hill the plants you have
to move. Big pile of good dirt and hill the roots in and
they'll
be just fine when it comes to replanting them. Don't forget
to add water! Been there....once.
