Soil confusion


Now that I’ve dug out 8” of heavy clay and replaced with topsoil (and will mulch with a soil improver), what soil preference category should I look for when choosing plants? Still clay? Or now loam or similar?

    Still clay IMO.

    Most plants put down roots further than 8” and your soil is still going to have that high water retention associated with clay.
