It sure is good.
Builder garbage is a PITA! Every time I plant a tree or try and dig a
hole deeper than two feet, I find brick, rock, nails, you know the
story. Cover the fill with a foot or so of clean soil. It was a real
problem when I dug the postholes for the fence. This place was built
on on fill 25 years ago.
