Here's what you need to know:
* It's the foundation: Bedrock is the parent material from which soil is formed. Over time, weathering and erosion break down bedrock into smaller particles that become the basis of soil.
* It's not soil: Bedrock itself is not soil. It's solid, unweathered rock.
* It varies: Bedrock can be made of different types of rock, like granite, limestone, sandstone, or shale. This affects the type of soil that forms above it.
* Depth matters: The depth of bedrock can vary widely. In some areas, it's just a few feet below the surface, while in others, it's hundreds of feet down. This impacts how plants grow and how buildings are constructed.
So, to be clear: You don't have "bedrock soil." You have soil that forms *on top of* bedrock. The type of bedrock beneath the soil can influence its composition, fertility, and drainage.
