The dirt on my dirt...

Harvested a pickup truck load of creek bank clay from my back lot, This stuff is incredible, mold well, holds humidity, is mostly straight up clay, but it came with hidden surprises..

I dumped in about six of those big orange buckets, only to find I had dormant bees in the dirt, the bees woke up when the dirt heated, so Now I have to sift all of it through a heavy screen to make sure the bees are removed prior to letting the dirt warm up.

Chasing angry white "digger bees" around my reptile room with a flyswatter is no fun.
