hard soil
Explanation:
Küskü aslında bir metal çubuk olup İngilizcesi crowbar veya prybar'dır. Ancak burada aletin kendisi değil, o alet kullanılarak çıkartılan malzeme olarak anlıyorum.

Bu durumda:

toprak = soft soil
küskü = hard soil
yumuşak kaya = soft rock
sert kaya = hard rock

şeklinde ifade edilebilir sanıyorum.

disagree  Kim Metzger: It's not about a tool. It's about the soil. 55% crowbar?
