today’s tactical move in the war on cars: having a couple of tons of topsoil delivered with one of those big vehicles with a remote controlled crane on my road used seemingly only for school runs

This.
Our yard is meticulously mowed, raked...and damn near devoid of topsoil.

It's depressing, but it's not my house, and not my decision.

Just… cover it up. Load of topsoil all over, then turf. Do not look inside. We’ve all seen this movie, people!

Ecosystems have been simplified. Habitats clearcut for agriculture or extraction.
Lynchpin species removed. Pollinating insects poisoned with neonicotinoid pesticides and worse. Marine filter feeders sucking up microplastics en masse.

We burn through centuries of topsoil in a few years.

Thank you to the chemist for being shut, didn't need my prescription anyway*. Instead I now have a mug tree, pickle jar, hefty steel khalbatta and a free pot of topsoil. It'll do...?

*the hilarious joke is that I'm overdue it anyway 😭 researching moving to postal delivery, yes...

Study the ants on the ground
Study the ground: the brown, porous topsoil

The face of someone who is unaware they will be getting a wash and groom at lunchtime.
A young Pyrenean mountain dog, lying in wet topsoil next to some grass outside. He is relaxed and a bit dirty

It is so frustrating and enraging to know that all of these are solveable problems, even at scale, but we have to scrape off the topsoil of a better world to further enrich billionaires and enable bullies and bigots.

Breaking news: pastured herds are essential to healthy topsoil.

I chop the stalks down to the ground. I cover any bits of exposed tubers with topsoil. Then I cover them in situ. I used to use old fertiliser bags (agri type) secured with rocks, but for the last 3 or 4 years I used rolls of garden 'fleece' and pegs. Seems to work OK

Kim Stanley Robinson couldn't even get dime-a-dozen high school valedictorian/Ivy Leaguers at McKinsey to accept the idea of an equitable society:
web.archive.org/web/20120705...
Time to end the multigenerational Ponzi scheme By Kim Stanley Robinson 22 February 2009 Am I saying that capitalism is going to have to change or else we will have an environmental catastrophe? Yes, I am. It should not be shocking to suggest that capitalism has to change. Capitalism evolved out of feudalism. Although the basis of power has changed from land to money and the system has become more mobile, the distribution of power and wealth has not changed that much. It’s still a hierarchical power structure, it was not designed with ecological sustainability in mind, and it won’t achieve that as it is currently constituted. The main reason I believe capitalism is not up to the challenge is that it improperly and systemically undervalues the future. I’ll give two illustrations of this. First, our commodities and our carbon burning are almost universally underpriced, so we charge less for them than they cost. When this is done deliberately to kill off an economic competitor, it’s called predatory dumping; you could say that the victims of our predation are the generations to come, which are at a decided disadvantage in any competition with the present. The goal of world civilization should be the creation of something more like an oval on its side, resting on the line of adequacy. This may seem to be veering the discussion away from questions of climate to questions of social justice, but it is not; the two are intimately related. It turns out that the top and bottom ends of our global social pyramid are the two sectors that are by far the most carbon intensive and environmentally destructive, the poorest by way of deforestation and topsoil loss, the richest by way of hyperconsumption. The oval resting sideways on the line of adequacy is the best social shape for the climate. This doubling of benefits when justice and sustainability are both considered is not unique. Another example: world population growth, which stands at about 75 million people a year, needs to slow down. What stabilizes population growth best? The full exercise of women’s rights. There is a direct correlation between population stabilization in nations and the degree to which women enjoy full human rights. So here is another area in which justice becomes a kind of climate change technology. Whenever we discuss climate change, these social and economic paradigm shifts must be part of the discussion.

I appreciate detecting also occurs on pasture and non-arable land, this causes direct harm that PAS fails to adress but was also not set up to deal with, increased technology has driven 'better' more powerful, cheaper machines. But the majority of detecting finds are in the topsoil / ploughsoil

Metal detecting is a problem,but it is an indicator of significant systematic deterioration that can be directly linked to wider land use frameworks. Metal objects within the topsoil show the active progressive deterioration of the finite archaeological resource

I did not have "Spread 15 tonnes of topsoil in the pouring rain" on my Bingo card for yesterday...
But the neighbor came to help spread it, and it's not like I can sit on my ass and let him do all the work lol
Oodles of topsoil, spread on a low area that keeps flooding in my field.

feel validated I was the only weird guy at this community thing who constantly went on about composting & constantly did it instead of hanging out even tho they got free topsoil. 2 changes of management later & the free soil is no more but there’s heaps of compost ready

Congratulations to me for finally realising that I'm feeling dissociative and distant after a day of talking about rockstar almost certainly because I'm disturbing the topsoil of the metaphorical Red Forrest which is "Trauma from that year and a half long crunch which gave me dissociative disorders"

I have spent today moving approximately five inches worth of rock & stone from the soil in my parents grave, adding topsoil and compost and planting flowers and then having a nice little cry

I am sure farmers have lost some of their topsoil because for the last 3 nights we have smelt dust in the air.
