Its simply a case of adding more organic matter each year and letting nature and time works its magic. We're on clay and in just 2 years we've seen big changes in the soil structure - but we take the view that allotments are long term projects and we'll keep adding the manure and compost - it will be interesting to see what its like in 10 years!
