I have heavy Virginia clay soil. I add mower-chopped leaves every fall and like ALittleSalt said . . . it becomes worm heaven!

I just got back the soil test results from VaTech and my previously-horrible-clay was wonderfully balanced.

I also compost as many leaves as I can get in a compost pile and add finished compost throughout the year.
