You need lime and sand for cement not clay.


Wrong.

P L O N K !

--NOW Travis, Shez is just thinking of Quickcrete contents. And yes, lime

and sand DOES make concrete, but where I live where the soil is RED clay,
adding sand DOES tend to make something resembling bricks..........but
compost, sand, tiny pea gravel DOES help break clay of anykind up. don't
plonk someone just because of their answers (or do what you like, you will
anyway, lets get along here, ok? sheezh!
