CB that's just some dirt in a housing area, probably from a construction site. It doesn't look like agricultural-grade soil. It'll block a drain down the road or wash through the system and come out in a brown river somewhere, helping to fill in the Atlantic ocean. No worries, Mqurice

Original soil. Cost me USD2.000 to preserve it. I raised the foundation. Left original soil intact by avoiding backfilling and leveling. That allowed me to put a deck for the barbecue. No self respected southern would construct a house without a barbecue place. This is the original soil and the tree stump that that soild supported for thousands years. Today instead of that tree we grow food. That land is part of Parana State where Curitiba is located. The state is one of the biggest producer of food.

How it was before: You can see a small fig tree and another tree being eaten up by a vine. The photo at the bottom you see how it is today, viewing from the opposite angle. The tree free from the vine - it is a fruit called caqui- is growing nicely. Near the wall you see the fig tree still there and my wife's 'farm' where she plants radish, spring onons, parsley... The tree stump is kept as part of the garden which we still ahve to complete. The dark brown thing is the place to feed the birds that comes to eat those figs.
