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.
