We're designated as gravely ashy loam and glacial till plain. The topsoil actually drains fairly well of it doesn't rain for awhile. Clay layer is estimated at 60'+ by state resource survey

I still have more work to do before the garden really gets going good but for now I'm happy with the progress and the cost has just been mostly soil and I did buy a roll of weed block but other than that it hasn't been much of an expense.

I have no idea what mine is. On a hill slope which once was covered by fir trees. Back in the early 1900's, someone stripped our property free of all trees. We are slowly adding back native trees. We have natural springs seeping down a hill above us where the previous owners took out 14 huge firs. Dumb idea...

This is the 2nd head of garlic I started in a jar of water. It had a blow out.

are you worried the hillside is unstable?
i would be happy if anyone took out a large patch of monoculture trees so i could replace them with a more diverse planting instead.
