===============================

Jimmie, For amusement and my education, would you mind letting us have a few
more crude details of your ground radial system please.

TYPE OF SOIL

(A) Is it high quality, fertilised garden loam, perhaps very slightly sandy
which can grow flowers and shrubs of which you can be proud when you try.
Perhaps used to be farm or orchard or agricultural land.

(B) Is it slightly gritty, stoney, but ample body which can still make a
nice flower garden. Quite fertile even though it may be overgrown with
profuse, dense, robust weeds. (Like mine.)

(C) Is it sandy, clayey, with small stones or pebbles? Needs attention with
fertilisers to grow nice flowers. But a lawn might do very well.

(D) Does it contain stones, sand, grit and small rocks with only 75% of
good soil but still needs hoeing and weeding to keep looking presentable.?

(E) Is it poor soil, smewhat infertile, difficult to manage as a flower
garden? Could be turned into a rock garden. Even the weeds don't do very
well.

(F) Thin layer of mediocre soil over bedrock.

MOISTURE CONTENT

(G) Fairly wet.
(H) Nicely moist.
(I) Slightly damp.
(J) Well drained, dry.
(K) Dusty.
(L) Arid.

ROUGH DEPTH OF WIRE BURIAL.

In tenths of an inch if very shallow.
Zero if just trodden in, in good contact with soil surface.

Thank you.
