Title: soil improvement I could use some input on this. I am considering renting some sort of a front loader for a day and hauling out several truck loads of soil from one of our ponds that went dry in the drought last summer. I was just up there this afternoon and the soil is wonderful – very friable, with a fair amount of sand in it- which we could use. The pond was full of fish and other life forms so I would think that there would be good nutrients in the soil. Plus it wouldn’t hurt to deepen the pond. This has to be done before the spring rains hit. Btw – the watershed for the pond is solely on our land, its all pasture so I don’t have to worry about chemicals, etc. So is this worth the effort? Would it replace the large truck load of compost I was considering buying? I have some compost, always enough for all of our transplants. I’m looking to improve the fertility of our soil.
