so what i'm doing with the black dirt is i'm just getting it generally where it has to go and in the amount that i want it and then i bring that power rake in and that's where everything just starts to flow together nicely the thing is just by using the black dirt with the you know the cat with the bucket i can still grade it and everything but i really technically shouldn't drive over the black dirt because that automatically compacts it right and the problem is it also doesn't incorporate it together it layers it and i don't want that stratification in the soil layer because the grass will grow and it'll be like oh everything is great and then boom it hits sand or boom it hits clear it hits some completely native soil it's not mixed together and it can really dampen the roots from really growing and giving you a really good yard so that's why i want to get the material they need there and get it all blended together so here's something that's kind of cool that seat right there tells me where the angle of my bucket is and what i mean is as i go over these edges whatever angle the seat is is the same angle that my bucket's going to be at so i can go by butt feel again i'm i've referred to this in one other video but it's a real thing in my world i go by butt feel so whatever angle my butt is is the angle my bucket's going to be at which is the angle my dirt is going to be at so my butt is grading this yard i'm getting my last load of black dirt finally so
