Reminds me of a cartoon I clipped from a newspaper. Suburban block, with
house, and driveway ..... Nice car parked in driveway ..... enormous pile of
topsoil dumped at end of driveway, blocking the exit ...... sign planted in
pile of soil reads "free soil - take as much as you want".
The caption was "It is difficult for the casual gardener to comprehend the
dimensions of 10 yards of top soil"
I have been meaning to pin it up on the noticeboard, at the local garden
supplies place.
Cheers, Jan
