Ed Sheeran wants to rewild the Country

[Jonp]

no wrong , it got there by Glacier , scraped up from elsewhere and deposited.

if you genuinely want to learn about soil, start with learning about Geology first.

The prairies can be very flat, to rolling hills, depending on where you are located at. Most of the soils, especially in North America, come from windblown silt called loess. In the north, the loess is on top of glacial sediments, and in the south, it is over river and old ocean sediments.

Doesn't alter the fact that it's since been degraded through cultivation.

what i seriously suggest is that you and the others who quote the same on a forum, is to hire a bus, ( or plane) go on World tour and preach to those who's soils are severely degraded and eroded on a big scale, then come home and start here as its here that is a far less a priority i can assure you ( from what i have *seen)


*and stood in a fairly recent ly carved gutter in the originally deep topsoil bed at the depth of my height (185 cm)


I'm out (again )

A great tool if you want to waste money, diesel, rubber and time while destroying soil organic matter at the same time.

Yawn

Nice new picture by the way.

The only way to improve poor souls is by increasing the organic carbon. And the only way to do that is with plants.

No
Lime, chalk, coal dust all do it too
I know a farm not far away which under nature was 200 acres of heavy Clay, and 200 acres of sand.
The tenant farmer carted sand onto the clay, and took a backload of clay to the sand.
He turned what was a poor farm into a very good one
His reward was eviction, but thats another story
Soils are not as natural as folk think
