I grew up on a "muck farm" in Ohio (that's what it's called) near Hartville and we worked it by hand. Muck is a very rich, dark (black, or almost black) soil that actually releases steam in the summer heat. It has a distinct smell, which is a little loam-y. It's not as dry as peat, and is easy to turn (although it holds moisture well, so after a rain, it is harder to plow). When you are planting or weeding in the summer, you can actually see the steam rise from it. You come out of the fields covered in black dirt that clings to your pores (like a coal miner, actually), and sticks to your skin. We have pictures of us as teenagers after working in the fields, and all you can see are our eyes and smiles...the rest is black. Muck is actually very nutrient rich (usually it's found near small creeks or springs, so muck may have been swamp or wetlands at one point, with its lush vegetation turned to compost). Muck is famous for being able to grow almost anything the climate will allow (especially farm crops: vegetables and fruits). Even cuttings or seeds you "throw away" will easily grow, and so you have to be careful where you dump those things: a large patch of rhubarb or pumpkins will easily sprout & "take off" if it hits that fertile ground. It's a truly beautiful sight to see rows of light spring- green colored lettuce against the black soil. Visitors to the area ALWAYS comment on the dark black color of the soil (and often ask us what we "add" to the soil to make it that color).
Sand is small pieces of worn stone. Dirt is just muck. Soil is something that plants can grow in, a bit like peat.
A muck fire occurs when muck, a soil made up from peat in dried-out swamplands, catches fire underground. These fires can burn nonstop until reaching a water source.
Muck fires are underground fires that kill citrus trees or other plants. Farmers use these muck fires to their advantage, by using them to kill their crops and therefore having new and/or more seeds to grow to make more money off of.

Yes. Anywhere there is a swamp. Underground fires or "Muck" ignites from burning brush above and from lightning strikes. Enough oxygen penetrates the parched, loosely packed peat moss, causing underground embers to smolder for weeks. The muck can cook and kill roots, causing trees to topple. After their leaves dry out, they kindle more brush fires. Organic muck is soil rich in carbon-based compounds from dead plants and organisms.
Dirt or mud. Can also refer to excrement (e.g. "dog muck").
Dirt, filth, excrement.
Muck fires are so intense that they even burn the dirt. They stay lit until they hit water.
filth, muck, grime, dust, mud, impurity
for me under rocks in muck in my tree and just in the dirt
On the bottom of rivers. Also, when you mix water and dirt.

People said they "raked the dirt" or "muck" and exposed it to the public.
most of these are in thesaurus: - soil - earth - ground - loam - clay - land - terrain - muck - mud - terrain - surface thats all i got.
The sock is a geo-textile used to filter fine particles of dirt so that the water entering the tile is not going to muck it up.
