It takes a few attempts to get a really nice one... though I'm curious about how well I'm going to fare with better soil, since I picked up a decent feel for things with this one. I suspect the learning curve is shallower if you're accustomed to paying close attention to details.
If you do start one, try using something that isn't clay. I've had my eye on the dirt up at Lime Ridge, for example... or, as I said, the stuff on the Pleasant Hill ridges. Lightweight and dusty.
I'll post about the next one, comparing methods with what I developed with the clay ball.
