This year’s core sample was taken adjacent to last year’s sample [url]https://www.jbest123.com/?s=sfg+core+sample&submit.x=16&submit.y=9[/url]. There was only about an inch of recognizable compost on top and it spilled out onto the floor when I tilted the tube to remove the sample. When I removed the sample, it just fell apart. The bed is about 88% full of what looks like plain old garden soil thanks to the many worms. At the end of next growing season I expect the beds to be nearly 100% filled with soil/worm casing. Then it will be interesting how the moisture retention will be and how the plants perform.
