[QUOTE="jkwilson, post: 734742, member: 969"] Glacial till, silty clay. Fortunately with few rocks. Rxcept for the top 10 inches, the soil doesn't change much no matter how deep you dig. The guy who did my soil survery for the septic said you could go down 400 feet without seeing a significant change in soil composition. Slimey, bottomless goo this time of year, and impossible to dig by hand in the middle of the summer. The only posthole I've dug by hand during the summer took three days to go three feet. Spend 45 minutes digging (and by digging, I mean chipping away at the @#$%^! ^&*(%$ dirt until the sweat blocks your glasses and you can't see) 4 or 5 inches, pour a bucket of water in the hole, wait an hour or two and then repeat until your hands, arms and back tell you to quit for the day. I think fond thoughts about my PTO post hole digger every time I walk past it. :heart: [/QUOTE]
