More about the area

Soil & gardening

Coverage shown for the commune. Add the exact address to check the actual building.

Likely topsoil: Clay loam. Topsoil pH ~6.9, organic carbon 51 g/kg.
Recent agricultural use within ~100 m: Fallow (2024), Wheat (winter) (2024), Barley (spring) (2024), Sunflower (2024).
Adjacent parcels are recent arable land. Pesticide drift and lower organic matter are common at field edges.

Soil can vary significantly within 100 m. For vegetable growing, a local soil test (pH, organic matter, NPK, and heavy metals if the site borders a road or former vineyard or orchard) typically costs €50 to €150 at a French agronomy lab such as Auréa, LCA, or SADEF. We recommend one before planting edibles.
