Clay soil & sharp sand
Hi You must not put sand into clay, it will make the soil impervious and
likle cement. Put in lots of organic matter to fluff it up.
Derryl in Calgary, Alberta
Can you suggest a simple solution to improve the drainage of my heavy clay
soil. The area is approx
6ft by 4ft and has a slight dip. Hence after some rain fall, there is a
pool of water.
I have read that I can mix a sharp sand with the soil which would do the
job. However, mixing sand
and clay .. will this not make the soil more solid ?
Thank you in advance for your response.
Pete
