I would love to have that pile on my place. My soil is all caliche. The only way I can grow is in raised beds.

It’s amazing, nutrient-rich compost, and when mixed with topsoil or even clay soils, it grows some wonderful crops. By itself though, it’s almost too nitrogen-rich. It also takes some serious CAT and JD machines to turn it/move it around. I miss the place.
