Clay soil LAWNS
We have a lovely lawn if we stay off it !,but the temptation to walk bare foot is too great, and as we have have far to much rain of late, and the fact that now the kids are off school the lawn is going to suffer.
The problem is that the soil is far to clay in its make up and so even airiation with a fork soon gets compressed into a water proof surface, i have contemplated spreading sharp sand but at what volume eludes me, i am told Limeing but only as a last resort, the grass is perfectly happy but i am not, so with that in mind any suggestions as to how to cure this and add good grainage before i rip the whole lot up and start again would be much apprieciated.
