We had some masonry & concrete work done recently out in front of the house & over by the side door, leaving low spots next to some of the new corners & edges. To fill in the spaces, we picked up several bags of topsoil over at Home Depot -- $1.17 apiece for several 40-pound bags that came from Marysville OH & Dagsboro DE -- meaning a tiny bit of Ohio & a tiny bit of Delaware were dug up & bagged & moved. Their loss is Virginia's gain. So it goes.
Back in the olden days when I used to work for a living, 1 of the top dogs down at the office had a PhD in dirt -- Soil Science, actually, but we poked fun by referring to it as a doctorate in dirt. "Not so," he said. "Soil is what grows the trees & the plants & the crops. Dirt is what you get under your fingernails."
