Soil Quotes

Down-to-earth lines about land, growth and roots.

These quotes stay close to the earth itself — weighing what a soil will bear before planting, a call to be tillers of the ground, and a wry complaint that some regions have soil as unyielding as rock.

Consider what each soil will bear, and what each refuses.
