Ah yes; clayey soil...know it well. I went to the lottie on friday to 'dig over' a patch for my second onion bed...and it was so clayey claggy and wet at 2 inches deep that I just could not turn it. I ended up digging about a meter square and leaving it on the side for my OH to put back in yesterday. the rest is either planted up now, or covered with weed fabric and planted through. What a nightmare just doing that it...the roots are incredibly think and hard to pull out.
I've spent most of this pm putting our compost from home into used multipurpose compost bags to take down the lottie; it sure needs it.
I also beheaded a load of dandilions today; so I'll pass on that one - thanks!!! |
