Where I live (S. Central Tx) I have really black soil but its got a lot of
clay.In my flower beds I have worked in lots and lots of compost and sand
and
mulch but what else can I put in it to make it looser? It is much better
than
my yard but I have heard sand, I have heard gypsum and I have heard
sulfur. The
soil is definetly not acid. What should I put in?
I haven't been online for a while but it was nice to see CHris Owens,
Madgardner,Gardengal and others names I have recognized forever. Is like
coming
back to friends.
TIA

Add limestone to it. Do not use burnt lime use plain old limestone, CaCO3.
Keep the pH between just above 7 while you continue to add mulch such as
grass clippings and such.
