Thanks, Deb.

I was just curious because I have heard of people saying that they were going to improve drainage in their soil under the planting level and wondered how that was done.

My soil, if anyone dares to call it that, has perfect drainage. It is dense, compacted small stones with clay and silt between them. The clay holds moisture longer than sand, but not as long as pure clay soils because of all of the rock. However, it also is not as fertile as loam.

I can build up the soil by adding organic material, but as soon as I stop, in time, I think it will revert back.

It's always something. Rolling my eyes.
I'd rather weed than dust ... the weeds stay gone longer.
