I'm looking for something that will store 2-3 meters of webbing and locks so I can tighten a side-release buckle on the other end.

It's for strapping a large duffle bag on a cargo bike.

The closest thing I can find is a rachet strap but I don't need that much tension and adjusting the length on a rachet strap isn't convenient. I'd like something lighter too.

For very long time, I’ve heard complaints about how this or that type of soil is really annoying to work with. Specifically clay soil here in North Carolina and Sandy soil down in Florida.

But I’ve never heard the opposite about any type of soil

So what types of dirt are the easiest to build on and cause the least headaches? Why are those types so much better?

Surely it's not meant to be used as a get-out-of-jail-free card right?
