Help for Heavy Clay Soil

By Skiekitty
May 10, 2013

This method of dealing with heavy soil is easy, cheap, and effective. In early spring after the snow melts and/or the ground is workable, start breaking up the lumps of clay with a garden fork. Then add shredded paper to the soil, working it in as you go. The paper will break down, adding organic matter to the clay, and it is a lot cheaper than "clay buster"!

This sounds great. I'm just wondering if it might be good for regular soil as well?
You don't kick walls down, you pull the nails out and let them fall.
