I looked it up and unsurprisingly there's a whole Wikipedia page about this. Long story short, it takes decades for rock to become soily at all so likely a much longer time till it becomes as soily as what's around it here.
You can't till it 'til much later.
Did I use the wrong word there? I always assumed till and until were synonyms
You're right, they're just making a joke, as till also refers to how farmers prepare soil for planting crops.
Suddenly thinking about how the race to sustainably create more soil will probably be a theme for scientific research in the near future.
Desertification is scary!
Lava rock tends to be very porous and “crumbly” though right? I would think it turns to soil faster than most other types of rock.
No, it's someone who loves feet.
