What should the consistancy of sub-soil look like?

Should sub-soil be very rocky/stoney & compact ? Thanks. Lucy.
It very often can be quite compact. Raised beds tends to get people-feet off of vegetable or flower space(s). Mulch and eventual double digging will push the growing space horizon deeper.Lucy Ghinn wrote:Should sub-soil be very rocky/stoney & compact ? Thanks. Lucy.
If you were growing parsnip or carrot sifting becomes a more important issue. Less so for others things.
