Impact gardening is the process by which impact events stir the outermost crusts of moons and other celestial objects with no atmospheres. In the particular case of the Moon this is more often known as lunar gardening. Planetary bodies lacking an atmosphere will generally also lack any erosional processes with the possible exception of volcanism and as a result impact debris accumulates at the object’s surface as a rough soil commonly referred to as regolith.
