That may be true as long as not many people are using it.  If lots of farms 
start using it, I expect they'll start digging specifically for that purpose.

None of the sales materials I've seen said "test your soil first and check 
whether our quarry is a good fit." I'm relieved to hear that at least some of 
the proponents are doing it that way.
