[QUOTE="yellow belly, post: 8011525, member: 305"] If they have brought a lot of rock up reburying it may be difficult when at college the soil science depment took use to see a field that some clever bod had deep ploughed without digging enough holes to see what was under the topsoil the only crop the land was suitable for was grass modern notill techniques may be able to crop rocky ground keeping the topsoil on the top is essential for good soil management deep ploughing on clay land bringing up clay to mix with top soil has ruined many heavy land farms and can ruin drainage subsoiling without mixing is far more effective if there are no shallow drains [/QUOTE]
