Re: Berms, now top soil

Well that's why I keep (and amend when necessary) the topsoil I have.
This Blackland Prairie clay is wondrously fertile, one just has to get
it friable.

Thanks to compost, lava sand and Texas greensand, that works. No
imported junk in my yard. Roses are starting to bloom BTW if anyone is
interested!!
