Question about amending soil (probably a dumb one!)
The soil here is hard-packed clay. I think I'd need dynamite to plant
anything. I know that if I add organic material it will help a lot, but if I add inches of manure or compost, doesn't that change the grade? We had problems with water in our crawl space in the last house we had, and I don't want to raise the grade so that rain runs back into the foundation. If I add the organic material, does it break down over the summer so that the slope of my yard doesn't really change? I hope this makes sense - I don't know if I am making myself clear. I want better soil - but I don't want a wet crawl space. |
