Re: How Deep?

 a way around this dillemma? is it really important to be that deep? or
 should I just bite the bullet and bring in a dozer and do it right?
 
 Thank You

I'm in a similar boat.  I need to do something dramatic to the big block of
clay
I call a back yard, and I'd like to expend my time/energy/money wisely.
What's the best course of action to take?

I know it would be easier to simply grow somewhere else...
