             Is this soil made in the USA or imported from another country?

"Formulated in California"..... supposedly 🙄

 

So I guess the answer to both questions is YES.  😅

              Zoom in on the no quibble guarantee. If you are not satisfied with the product, you can get your money back. If you cannot read English you can read it in Spanish.

Actually it says that it regionally formulated from a list of materials, then it says that if it is formulated in California the ingredients is precisly those listed. If the regional facility is in Mo or Tx, the  formulation can include things not listed in Ca. Like rice hulls, native soils, food waste etc that can't be used in Ca.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe there were any state lines prior to when dirt was created. 🤔 

Non discriminatory Real estate is what we have here !  👍

Ca. has many laws that other states don't have, you can do stuff to boats that would be restricted there. Fishing gear causes cancer there but  no where else. And state lines are not drawn according top the fertility of the dirt. I  guess being half Russian and half Mexican prior to USA acquiring it has left a residual effect on Ca.  that other states don't understand.  Anyhow 'regional' may include multiple states or only a part of a state, fe Midwest region or lake of the Ozarks region.

I'm sure that 'top soil' is not Ozarks compatible, because it contains no chert and topsoil obviously does -

I feel ya.  Mary had us spend a bunch of money rebuilding raised beds, refurbishing a little greenhouse, and getting water lines run to irrigate, that we had inherited from the former owners of our place in Montana last summer, and this spring she bought a whole pile of seeds and sprouts to plant in them.  I told her last year that I was fine with her gardening, but I didn't want to plant or to weed.  I ended up digging a bunch of holes and sticking plants in them, anyway, because she had a knee replacement and then bursitis in her hip and couldn't do some of the squatting and such necessary to plant stuff.  

But I don't really mind.  It's kinda cool to grow stuff and then get to eat it.  Except that now we're back in MO, and the lettuce will be ready to pick before we get back to Montana.

That has to be hard on tiller tines and hoes.

Zucchini, Cherry tomatoes, & Watermelon are the only productive harvests we've ever had here in the past. Also did pretty decent with strawberries once.  All reasonably self sufficient.....and really no cost at all 👍 

But these girls got stuff to grow Cilantro, Green beans, Cucumbers, lettuce, and I don't know what else.    

It's gonna fail, I guarantee it.......And if I so much as whisper a "told ya so".... I'll catch hell. 🙄

No, not so good for chopping tools. It's best worked with a mule and a double-shovel, each piece of chert becoming a cultivator,  but, it's surprising how well things like beans, tomatoes and squash like it. Strawberries love it too. I work the small garden with a fork rather than a hoe. I suspect that without the chert/sand the clay dirt would be too too tight. It doesn't crop well in drought years.
