Some nonsense about racket that’s carved up fertile ground (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
black earth
'up fertile ground' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'some nonsense about racket that's carved' is the wordplay.
'some nonsense' becomes 'blah' (blah blah blah).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'that's carved' indicates an anagram.
'racket' anagrammed gives 'ckeart'.
'blah' enclosing 'ckeart' is 'BLACK EARTH'.
Can you help me to learn more?
