Question
What can I do to fix my clay soil. I heard you can add lots of gypsom and sand. Is that true? Or am I being misled. I have a very small gerden, maybe 15'x 6'Can you please help?
Thanks,
Chris

You were told the truth. Also adding leaves from the trees and grass clippings will also help to make your clay workable. You must be careful to not put the leaves or grass in too large of clumps. The clay will not let the air in to decompose the material. Just keep turning the mixture and it will soon blend in. Good Luck
