bonifaye do you have any suggestions when you have mostly sand I'm going to have good dirt brought in along with tilling what little dirt I have for grass here in Florida

Clay , is fertile but needs organic matter to make it drain better , loosen the soil for roots to grow! Good analogy!

Do a lasagna garden! Layering a combo of carbon materials with nitrogen materials , you add some soil to each layer to get the biology going! I have done this method 18 years with great results!

So far my garden is doing so good. Praise God for beautiful gardens and the sun and rain to grow them. I like the hard labor though I have to take lots of breaks. I'm 65 with osteoporosis.

We have to be ready to witness and minister to those who come to Bards Fest that may not be saved. I pray to be there. Send me ,Lord

@Patti : I’m not sure if it would work on clay, there are videos to help, but because I’m 75 I’m growing no dig which essentially means cover with cardboard, then manure or compost, then plant with just holes through that (grow seedlings in pots) and my potatoes this year the straw method (also online) seems to be working a treat so far everything is loving it. Hope that might help.

You’re so right Scott, I have been remade beyond what I thought possible over the last few years. An ongoing process! Am growing stuff like crazy, and have dug up my lawn or most of it!

Familiar with clay...live in Georgia! Red clay of Ga!
