I guess I'll leave the existing and just place more on top!


As long as they're not completely full of dirt as can happen here in the
High Plains over that period...we took over 2" of accumulated dirt out
of the attic of the house here (built in '15/'16). Most was from the
"Dirty 30's" but I'm sure a fair amount also accumulated during the
other really bad period of the 50's...
