How can I soften clay soil and enrich it for plants
Clay is at one end of this scale (few air pockets, roots penetrate with difficulty, retains water, and drains poorly), sand is at the other end (high water drainage, lots of air pockets, roots penetrate easily), and loam (ideal soil) is in the middle. different plants are happiest with different soil types; some like sand, some like clay, but most are grow best in loam.
