Ground conditions — Big Spring, TX
Howard County ground turns rocky quickly — caliche ledge and rock are common, and shallow rock changes both the dig and the price.
Ground falls off toward the draws east and south of town, which helps drainage but concentrates runoff into channels that cut if they are not armored.
