Hello,

I'm curious. Does growing potatoes actually help to break up clay soil?

I have an area in my backyard which I am leaving fallow - its got plenty of
weeds, clay soil, a mix of sunshine and shady spots. But I am too busy in my
front yard to take care of the backyard at the moment. (Sidenote: My mother
is sick and I have to make frequent visits to check up on her.)

I don't know what to do with the backyard. But if I grow potatoes - will it
help to rejuvernate the soil?

Thanks!

Crimson
