And those who know a thing or two about topsoil reckon the 16,000 cubic metres of earth would go a long way.
Use a trowel, shovel or soil probe to discover the depth of topsoil (ideally, it should be 6 inches deep) and assess the amount of force required to penetrate the ground (as compared to lawn areas that are lush, green, and reasonably weed free).
The practice is especially desirable in the wake of some kind of disturbance (logging, development or a windstorm); it builds topsoil instead of eroding it, provides drought resilience and better water quality through storm-water retention, stimulates biological diversity, sequesters atmospheric carbon through hastened plant growth, and speeds up all phases of the forest life cycle while increasing yields of food, medicine, fiber and other substances for human use.
