It depends on what you are trying to achieve.

Well, my garden soil is pretty much clay, but over the years it has at times been improved with the addition of composted mulch, however last year I noticed it was looking rather like clay again (the organic matter disappears completely in time) so I have added mulch again. I'm guessing it will be acidic for awhile, but I don't know how this would be most noticeable -- what garden plants would be the most affected. Perhaps if I add lime it would mostly be for the benefit of certain more acid-sensitive plants? Thanks.
