Re: Nothin' but Clay Soil
Aged or composted manure is great for any soil. Another thing you might consider is to add perlite to the soil. It is a permenant soil conditioner and will bring some smiles to your face with the benifits it does. We also have a good amount of composted manure and use it as a potting soil mixed with perlite. If you have access to a farm supply store they usually have it and at a much lesser cost than some of the garden centers. If you keep adding these to the soil in a very short time your soil will cooperate with the plants and bring forth a good harvest. We have nothing but sand here so have been adding compost and perlite on a regular basis and after 3 years the garden is doing great, also the weeds, but they are good also as they bring up the nutrients to the surface where they are harvested and then composted and returned to the soil. Good luck.
