Hi Thora, I would think that river bottom or bank soil would be best. Much of the higher ground has washed downhill and thus many minerals have been depleted there.
I bet some experienced farmer can and will give you good info.

What kind of organic material is needed to keep our soil healthy? I have considered replacing the soil in my garden with soil from the mountains around here. We still have land that has never been worked by man at all. But any suggestions, especially based on research would be appreciated. In particular for trace minerals. As a side bar, can trace minerals be purchased in supplement form in Canada that anyone know of? They seem to be the thing I am lacking the most. The only thing I have seen so far is a multivitamin that contains some trace minerals, but I don't want the entire range of vitamins, just those I am short on.

Well I, for one, will / do rely on properly formulated suppliments that are no longer present in our foods - I do miss the benefits of the enzimes. There many reputable formulators out there, and also reputable retailers. There is a learning curve.
