Get your garden started right with John Dromgoole’s tips to improve clay or sandy soil with with pea gravel, decomposed granite, expanded shale, and dairy compost.
this is great! i live in central texas and started my first gardens this year (one veggie and one flower) and i just wish i found this video when i started, instead of planting things that won't grow… oh well, you live, you learn, you do it differently next year.
Im in new jersey and bought my first house and found that i have a pond/lake in my backyard after it rains I HATE it. mosquitos eat up my children and I and I have to build a moat to get to my shed at times. thanks for the advice.

Yes! Expanded shale works GREAT! I used it to amend my clay soil. (I posted a video on it.)

Thank you and bless you John!
I liked everything until you got to the "soil activators". That's just garden quackery. But thanks for (most) of the post.
