Soil amendments which ones?

Well I for one am fed up of not knowing which ones are any good, do we go
with peat? Mushroom? Seaweed? Or are there any other fantastic ideas out
there? Which ones are best with sand and which ones are best for clays
soils? Let's get the ball rolling on this topic because it's a bit of a
grey area that no one seems to talk about.

What's up Doc..?
Organic matter is organic matter. What you choose and how you add it is up
to the end user IMHO. There isn't a perfect soil amendment. Amending clay
soil for a blueberry would be different than the amending for a cedar.
Amendments have to be tailored to the situation, the availability of
products to use and personal preference.

Thanks Timothy point taken but we are in the lawns banter section are we not? maybe I should have made my self a little clearer...soil amendments for turf. As to which type of turf situation I leave up to you but I’m guessing that it would be different for say a football pitch as apposed to a cricket pitch / wicket!
