I’ve signed up for a free soil test at the new place. When it’s not raining I will collect the samples and will do a pH test too. I’m interested to have a closer look at the soil, from what I can see it is a bit gravelly, but hopefully less sandy than where I was. I think I’d rather have clay than sand.

It’s all old farm fields around here, so unless the cows are on meth I don’t expect there will be anything to worry about.

Ballarat soil is fairly rich - all those old volcanos studding the landscape. You could get lucky.

Unless someone dumped lead paint or oil. Hopefully all is good 🥕
