Naw man, I was just razzin ya.
Everybody has their own 'soil' or 'growing medium' that they prefer, it's just a fancy name for 'dirt', like calling your car an 'automobile'.

Sounds good, but if you have a place where grass clippings usually blow when you mow the lawn, or something might be good also.
I've been wondering about this pile I have that's basically flattened out now, where I brought home a truck bed full of woodchips about 5 years ago and dumped.
Now it's gotten soft like Peat, and has all kinds of stuff growing .

Iowa is suppose to have the best soil in the US, right in our backyards. Maybe I need to start using it!

Hey AK. Not sure if there is a horse farm in your area or not. THE BOTTOM OF THE 'OL SHIT PILE. the Richest soil you can find. AMAZING stuff. it DOES NOT work the same with cows or any other animal. lol but OLD OLD horse manure becomes some very rich soil. I've thrown random bag seed into the pile I used to use and plants would grow within a week or 2.(I worked at the farm so obviously had to remove the visible plants before anyone else noticed what they was.) :)
