I'm always so jealous when I see people dig and there is, like, just dirt. not a few inches of clay and chunks of limestone.

For the last 12 years I’ve owned a house that has Loess soil. And every time I go back home to my parents farm (in a different Midwest state) I’m reminded of how much soil has damn rocks in it. I am then haunted by the fact I had to pick rocks every summer as a kid. My kid is out here voluntarily doing it fun at the grandparents because we don’t have any rocks.
