Wonderful Soil
When I purchased the property 20 months ago, I hoped for good soil in
case I ever went into field production. Little did I expect the
wonderful land that I got. 4 acres without a rock in it. The entire
spread consists of sandy loam.
I spent the money to have the topsoil stripped off of where the
greenhouse area is, before laying down the pitrun to build on. The
topsoil is stockpiled over in the corner, for whatever use I think of in
the future.
This area was homesteaded in the early 1920's by a single family, and
they used the property as pasture.
People have seen me digging in it, and they even remark about how nice
it is.
