Gathering Grade 1 and Grade 2 soils

[Eadyn]

Is there any reason for soil to be hidden still? Depending on your luck, you could go through 30+ nodes before you see one. I find that the hidden nature of them discourages gardening. Even if you want to just plant krakka root seeds, you have to spend an hour or more just to find the 8 you need for one round of gardening. It just seems odd that it is so time consuming just to get the soil when gardening is over a year old now and there are few extremely lucrative things available to grow at the moment.
