Don't any of you be complaining about the kind of soil you have. Our property came with none. It's bare bedrock with a thin skin of rotted spruce needles and lichens, with occasional patches of three inch deep clay - that is, where there isn't bog. My solution is piling boulders in various artistic closed forms, mostly sorta rectangular, and filling the hole with bought soil. I grow a few tomatos, squash, some herbs, and a lot of flowers this way.
