Our soil garden and a Meggyver

How to grow soil. 
1. Live in south GA where farmers till their  fields when it's breezy and where trees grow big, fast. 
2. Have a foot deep wading pool that doesn't hold water, in the middle of the patio. 
 3. Throw in twigs and sticks that fall from the sky. 
4. Add small limbs from shrubs you've pruned. 
5. Add some weeds you didn't pull before they went to seed. 
6. Set fire to it and enjoy the flames (stand by with rake and hose, just in case.)
7. Spread the ashes and repeat 3 &4. Also rake and blow in leaves and that south GA topsoil that lands on the patio.  
8. Remove wood for the stove as needed. 
9. In Spring, before weeds go to seed and you need a place to burn those, 
push sticks aside or pile them nearby. 
Meggyver the soil up by scooping it into a dustpan on a stick. Transfer into trash can to transport it. 
Three good sized piles!
10. Replace sticks and start over.
