Gypsum for clay soil

Having just extended a flower bed to incorporate what has been lawn for 40 years, I am left with some pretty solid clay soil. Gypsum is recommended as a soil improver, but appears to be sold in garden centres as a proprietary product costing nearly 5 for 2.5 kg. http://www.capitalgardens.co.uk/clay...itioner-p-6321.... On the other hand, I can pick up a 25 kg bag of multi-finish plaster for under 5, and AFAIK this is essentially the same material. Any reasons not to go with plaster? Chris Assorted rottable garbage also improves soils, so if you dig it up to add gypsum, you could add rubbish under the surface too. Unused plaster will bind the soil, used lumps wont. NT |
