No - because there is another person posting "Thought of the day", with an intention of putting others to think about it; without having himself even thought of it.

I like the TOTD. On some days this is the only thought I have.

I had a thought once. Somebody pointed out both the premises leading up to the thought were wrong, and I couldn't necessarily draw the conclusion I had from them if they had been right.
Gave up thinking after that, life much better since.

I think they do or, at least, I thought they did.

As long as your posting on Facebook, no.

I had to take about 40+ tones of top soil to the disposal place, after the first load, the neighbour says 'can I have it?'. 'Sure' I say. And get rid of about 35 of those tonnes in his garden just over the road (he has just built the place and the ground is a mess. )
Good job too, the 5 tonnes I did take to the disposal place cost 140 euros!

Well I guess that explains why it keeps getting dumped in a ditch near where I live.

Believe me, at that price, I was sorely tempted to head off down a lane. After all, it is actually good soil. Shame to waste it really.

If it really is top soil you should get money for it. When my parents built their last home in the beginnings of the 80's we didn't get the original top soil back (just hard clay crap) and actually got money back. It did take a lot of time though to get our garden set up and grow stuff besides potatoes. Rebuilding a good and fertile top soil level is a process that takes 5+ years as you have to work in a lot of compost and if it is really mostly dead stuff like ours was you also need to throw in some worms to loosen that hard stuff up and take care of leaves and remnants of grass cutting.

If you live in an area that has lots of trees you can call the companies that cut down trees and they often will give you the mulch for free. I did that years ago and it only takes 2-3 years before you have good soil.
If you mix in manure you can get good soil in a matter of months actually.

No, believe me if you start with no topsoil left you will not get it back that quickly. It does take a lot of time and mulch will not really help that much as it take too long to break down. It will help in aerating the soil though and thus help in the process.
Cheers!

I've done it. It works.
Here's a link that might interest you about sheet mulching: http://permaculturenews.org/2012/07/20/gorgeous-gardens-from-garbage-how-to-build-a-sheet-mulch/[^]
Quote: Note: It is best to let a sheet mulch sit at least a few weeks before you plant it or even a winter season if you can. Sheet mulch will be a lot more productive in the second and third year than in the first.
There's a whole movie about a guy who did this, http://www.backtoedenfilm.com/[^]

Well good for you. It wouldn't have worked for us. The ground was so hard I ruined a spade in my first attempt at digging the hole for our cistern. I used a pick axe then and still had a hard time making any progress. That was some nasty stuff I tell you.
Cheers!

Yeah, I know I could have sold it, but with the pressure of work, needing to get rid of it, vacation coming up, and all that, just didn't have the opportunity to do so.
We were going to sling it in a gully, well, an old river bed, got to be 50 ft wide and 10 deep, that's on our land, but the neighbours bamboo had so infected the soil, that's why I was getting rid of it, I didn't want to dump it there, lest the bamboo regrow. It really is a bastard, bamboo. When the stuff takes hold its a sod to get rid of, hence scraping off the top 5 inches of part of our garden.

Was the neighbor who bamboo bombed your garden the one who you gave the soil to; or did you drop a bamboo bomb of your own on some chump?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Different neighbour and he was warned, and puled the roots out by hand, deeming it much cheaper than buying top soil.

You haven't concreted your garden, have you?
