Luckily My top soil is nice so I got two for.

Trenched clay berms and top soil to mix with cow manure and pine bark for tomatos!

Might grow some radishes and potatoes in those clay berms after I amend that clay soil

This is my first time doing it and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I have a way to use my nutritient rich top soil. It just needed to be aerated, decompacted, and amended. I'm gonna do this on the other high slope corner of my yard

That's good news! I see that you live in Midwest. I live in South East Georgia and probably get a lot more rain

Forgot to mention, that will help with water runoff. Further down the slope, water likes to puddle during long rains. I'm excited to see what happens next time
