Last year was our first year to garden in this location. We have clay soil, so I purchased a dump-truck load of sand, and will do so again this year.

RE: Clay soil... the BANE of all gardeners. Am I the only one who is grateful for my clay???

It is very rich and all those nutrients become available with the addition of compost. Tho' I've not had it tested, there are particular weeds that flourish here which indicates the richness, and I save a lot on fertilizer.
