Not the best! Yellow shale - sticky when wet and sandy when dry, and very alkaline. We compost horse manure and rice husks with household waste, and use foliar feeding when the plants are small. Surprising most things grow well. One day I will get a garden with deep dark loam with a perfect ph. We grow our citrus in tubs to keep their ph ok.
