Clay can be a gardener’s nightmare but it can also very, very useful. Here are some tips on making clay work for you. #clay #claysoil #gardenideas #landscaping #sustainability #homeharvest #gardenhacks #fruittree
"Clay can be a gardener's nightmare" – lol, there are parts of the world where that's pretty much (that and loamy soil that is) the only thing that farmers have to work with.
Holy cow, probably the most useful gardening video I have come across and I missed it somehow, would this also work in raised garden beds? i can't see why it wouldn't, this could be the breakthrough I have been hoping and praying for = how does 1/3rd clay, 1/3rd compost, and 1/3rd mulch (e.g. wood chip) sound?
But, our suburban lot has about 5m to the fenceline and water still won't drain despite agi pipes been put in which appeared that the rain water wasn't even getting to the drainage systems. So even if you build mounds, other parts are still going to be water logged.

Good advice, am jealous of your lime tree 🙂
