Clay soil in the garden
Hi everyone,
We've moved into a house with what used to be a nice 2 tier garden, alas the previous owner was a bit of an idiot and dug out the top tier - about 3ft of topsoil was disposed of - so he could have a flat lawn. Now we're left with the underlying clay rubbish which is compacted and sticky and impossible to dig / rake etc. As he dug out 3ft of earth the garden is now so low down it hardly gets any sun and doesn't drain which has made the clay even worse and even the grass has stopped growing and moss has appeared in its place! My question is, Is there anything we can do like adding sand etc to the clay to make it more habitable for plants, even veggies, as at the moment it just looks awful! Any help would be most appreciated as I don't fancy moving 10tons of topsoil back in!!! Chris |
