Hi Saga, The soil is kinda similar. It is very volcanic here so we see a lot of cinders and some of the dark soils you might see around FLG. They are also very different. There is a huge variety of soils in a relatively small space. We are also not seeing the density of life that you might find in our garden or other places around FLG. We are really only picking up on about a tenth of the soil activity and life that we would see in FLG.Be seeing you soon Sagamore, be great!
