Overfloaming! Where's the dirt now? (AKA, I still think there's too much loam, here's some suggestions)
Well, I am excited to see the updates to make loam more useful, but I still find myself with an excess of loam. In fact, I found that while digging I gained about as much loam as dirt from dirt piles. There is still, however, a considerably greater demand for dirt than loam. Perhaps this could be mitigated with some kind of loam-into-dirt disassembling ability, that turns some amount of loam into dirt. I'm not sure what the proper ratio would be, but it could be a function of the blockmaker, or it could just be an action you perform on x amount of loam. So practically, we'd click on loam, select how many we want to convert to dirt (like shucking seeds or crushing rock), and then we'd get some amount of dirt out of that (perhaps consistent, perhaps random). This way higher level people who get a lot of loam can still get dirt if they need it and not worry about an excess of loam.
Possibly this could come from an upgrade card, too!

Want. This. So. Much.
+1000000! - I very much like this idea. I've been shovel-less for a while, focused on other things, and when I picked one up and started to dig I was astonished at how little freaking DIRT I got. Great thinking!
- I do think that we're over-loamed. Even just tweaking how often you get loam would probably help. I have started having an irrational hatred of loam.
- Or.... make loam the resource that is needed more.
- Mush a clod of dirt (sacrifice) and out comes a clump of worms. Use the worms on the loam to convert 5 loam to 5 dirt and lose the worms or something.

Soil Appreciation was revised today (as tweeted in Changelog):
- Higher levels of SA now give 3 and 4 Earth (or Loam) instead of 2
- When digging, Loam is given instead of Earth about half as often as it used to
- Garden restoration projects now require more Loam, less Earth
Dirty! - I don't follow anything on Twitter, but I noticed while playing today that digging in the dirt had been unborked. Awesome!
- I approve! Thanks!
