Hi,

I've been reading posts in the group about trying to get clay soil
in a
better condition.

Most people seem to be at the general consensus that you need to add
gypsum,
peat moss and sand, along with other organic material. But someone
mentioned
that before you go adding too much stuff to it, you should get the
soil
tested for ph balance, to make sure you don't make a bad problem
worse! My
question is...how do you test the soil? I'm fairly knew to gardening
in
general, I used to just potter around at home with my parents,
however now I
have my own place, with very very thick clay soil!

Why did you crosspost this to urg and a US dominated group?
