Can I put new soil on top of old soil?
I'm curious about gardening practices and I've heard conflicting opinions on whether or not it's advisable to add new soil directly on top of old soil. Can you explain the potential benefits and drawbacks of this approach? Is it a viable option for improving soil quality and promoting plant growth, or could it potentially harm the plants or the soil structure in the long run? I'd appreciate any insights you can provide on this topic.

How do you know when soil is bad?
Excuse me, but I was wondering, how does one determine if soil is considered 'bad'? Are there specific indicators or tests that can be conducted to assess its quality? Is it based on its nutrient content, pH level, or some other factors? Understanding the characteristics of unhealthy soil is crucial for gardening and agricultural purposes, so I'm eager to learn more about how to identify it.

What does 1 yard of soil look like?
Could you elaborate on what exactly you mean by "1 yard of soil"? Are you referring to the volume of soil, measured in cubic yards, or perhaps a specific type of soil with certain characteristics? If it's the former, a cubic yard of soil is roughly equivalent to a space measuring 3 feet by 3 feet by 3 feet, and the appearance of the soil itself would depend on its composition and texture. For example, clay soil would have a denser, stickier consistency, while sandy soil would be looser and more granular. Additionally, soil color can vary greatly depending on factors such as mineral content and organic matter. Is there anything else specific you'd like to know about the appearance of 1 yard of soil?
