Unless you live in Butte Montana, where the soil also contains zinc, arsenic and lead...

20 inches of great topsoil here, used to be a farm. House was built in 1960, before they started stripping the topsoil off and carting it away like they do now.

Gardening in Door County was a disaster. Glaciers leave rocks behind and you have to use a pickax to get them out of the ground. No fun.

I make some killer compost. Gardener's gold, and it has such a great aroma.

Class A-B glacial till here, too. You loosen it with a pick and then use a shovel.

I've been composting for years. I have a huge brush pile in the back yard that has also become home to birdies, bunnies, and probably a few rats and raccoons, too. When we move out of here, I'm going to be sorry to leave it behind. I may empty the actual compost bins into a truck and take it to our new home if it's not too far away.

But I do always feel better after a day of playing in the dirt.
