That ground looks so satisfying to dig in. Like it would actually yield to a shovel. I've spent my entire life in Southern California and our ground is hard, dry, and filled with rocks.
Pro tip: water before you dig. Water the ground for a week or so before you dig, this makes it much easier to dig through, and cuts down on the excess dust.
Look at this guy, knowing a week before he needs a hole.
The difference between first and second degree murder
Nice!
Once you get deep enough there is literally no dust as it contains about 30% clay and is very wet
In the Midwest where it looks like you dug that hole, sure. But where I, and the previous poster, live nope. Lots of sand in the soil out here, and if you dig deep enough, you hit granite.
Sandy soil huh ive never heard of that oh and also I live in east tenesee it's a weird place for sure.
Where I live the ground is rocks with the gaps between filled with dried clay. Literally a 2 to 1 ratio of rock to clay in some spots. Closer to a soft concrete than actual soil once you get more than 6 inches down. So the shovel doesn't actually dig as much as it just scoops out the shit I beat loose with a tamper bar.
Sometimes I feel like the only guy on the Internet who sees these digging posts and thinks "I've dug enough" lol.
It is!!
All soils yield to me
