There is great wisdom is being bluer.
For those of you who do not know what “BLUER” means, it is an acronym created by @bluerthangreen which means “Building Legacies Utilizing Earth’s Resources.” You can delve into his understanding more in these posts:
Preparing my house site and driveway area is a lot of work, but it also helps me to come in contact with a lot of resources that are available to me right on my own land. I know that many people see some of these things as junk and really do not care, but I'd rather use what I've got! In the first three videos I shared about the logs, the branches of the trees, and rocks, so now I am moving on to the topsoil.
When I use this angle-blade attachment for the tractor, I can smooth out the area and scrap a lot of the topsoil off. I'm currently collecting and saving it to use elsewhere, but the video shares more about that.

I actually enjoy these duties , and don't really care about the mess , everything comes in handy. Back home in Pakistan there are fields of land for us and we usually have to do all the work ourselves and keep them maintinated when we are there . And honestly it's tough but it's like seeing your own land build to something bigger

I can't wait to get to the point of moving our earth but also am dreading it to, because that is a lot of hard work. I really can't wait to break ground though, we are renting currently and our landlord recently found out the type of FHA she has, has restrictions she isn't allowed to rent, so we are now in the position of trying to find a house to rent for 10 months if that while waiting for our house to be built. We were suppose to get to stay here till our house was built, but if the house sells before it is done we will have 30 days. I am going to look at something I found that ironically has a 10 month lease so I am hoping that it works out and we can get it, because I really don't like the idea of people coming in and going through my things.

Totally with you! The soil beneath our feet is a much under-valued resource! I currently have several sacks sitting in my garden that I'm going to reuse for raised beds after doing a project growing potatoes in sacks with my local beaver scouts group. One of my favourite bits of my garden is the compost heap - I love the magic of turning veg scraps and weeds into beautiful, rich, crumbly soil! Your place looks awesome - love the sound of the cicadas in the background!

What do you have under the topsoil? Is it clay or sand or rocky loom? Will you be putting 3/4 crushed rock and prepping it or just pack and build? Where does the water go when it rains and will you need drainage to keep it from under your foundation? What are you building your house with, is it going to be conventional or a out of the box build (earthbag or strawbale or something like that.) Save that topsoil to help build up your garden.

Using the top soil you scrape off is ingenious. When our neighbors began building their house, they wanted to haul the top soil away! NO Way! we went over with our wheelbarrows (no trailer or tractor yet) and hauled it all back to our place. One way to put the family to work :)

Top soil, you can make it richer by decomposting. Don't throw those leaves from your trees and mix it with your top soil and produce a good soil for gardening.
