I am Blessed to have a husband that volunteers to spend an hour digging in rock hard clay. I plan to make sure he gets plenty of fresh salads and tomato sandwiches this summer!
I've mentioned my heavy clay soil before, but I really think this picture below says it all. I wonder if I could build figurines out of this soil?
The good news is clay soil tends to be rich in nutrients (I think), you just have to break it up enough so your plants can actually grow in it. I've been mixing Expanded Shale into my new beds to add air pockets and keep the clay from compacting again. I've also heard you can use lava rock for this as well.
