Healthy soil and sustainable growing

Michael,

That's not very deep. I realize most crops feed off the top 4 inches, but 
that looks like it just barely made it. Are there issues with plants that 
have a longer tap root? Also, looks to me like the water would just run 
right through it, do you find that to be true? This is so foreign to me...my 
soil is black straight through to the end on the shovel - what's that? 8-10 
inches at least? I can't imagine working with anything else. I feel bad for 
all those souls who have to.
