The Soil of Gambatesa
The quality of the soil in Gambatesa is in some places good, in others bad (but where there is sun and water, the soil is not so important).
Where Samuele Conte has worked the soil with the tool called "zappetele" in dialect ("small hoe" in English), around the escarole plants that he is growing, that soil is brown from the moisture under the soil when it had earlier been watered. Where the soil is gray the sun has dried the surface of the soil, but underneath it is still moist.
