Hardly any topsoil to speak of after 90 years of no care and the depredations of adjacent fir, liquidamber and couch grass. The subsoil is heavy grey clay for effortless cohesion in wet weather into 6-inch platform gumboots.
Gypsum, compost and cow manure were added. Since then, with regular topdressing with manure it is hoped the soil is improving.
At least, it WAS hoped, until this city's money churners came to stamp the land with their big stupid earth-fucking metal monsters.
Thank you Cath Cornish for helping me rescue the irises from the killing machines.

One of those sections with the machines that can be heard for miles around shaking to death every creature and plant, leaving a block of land a deathly wasteland. Bravo, new owners of your plastic simulacrum of a dream of a consumerist illusion built on the corpses of thousands of tender life-forms I cared for for a quarter of a century. In this pic, front left going back; Duchesse de Brabant, Honorine de Brabant, Titian.
RIP Mystery Crimson Rose that may be Crimson Glory Cl, Mme Isaac Pereire, Blairii No. 2, Guy Savoy, Maria Callas Cl.
