I'm assuming you don't have hardpan ? Is that right ?
Heavy clay, needs all the organic matter you can feed it.
Instead of buying, chemicals, bags of mulch, bark, etc.
If you live in Towne ? Ask your neighbors to save there grass clippings, leaves, and bush trimmings for you. You can even take them some plastic garbage bags, for encouragement.๐
Alot of cities give free mulch away.
Or, you could buy bulk compost, etc, from a landscape supply, or garden supply. They usually deliver free, if you buy a yard or more. A yard, is 4 feet square. They can tell you best choice for your needs, and how many yards you will need.
I'd forget the chemicals, and bags.
Mulch heavy, and, SAVE YOU, some dinneros. ๐ต๏ธ๐
