At times there are piles of wood chips just waiting to be hauled off. Otherwise they cost about $50 a cubic yard which is way too expensive for us.What if it's today? - A survivalist's bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291866801645327324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3280390706862225283.post-1333806030495372562012-01-26T19:14:41.435-08:002012-01-26T19:14:41.435-08:00Yes! you need to watch the film "Back to Eden...Yes! you need to watch the film "Back to Eden" at www.backtoedenfilm.com, He lives in California and raises a huge garden without much watering, he irrigates when he plants and not much after that, by using mulch, compost, etc. NO TILLING. A very good film. It can be streamed for free online, or you can order the DVD. We will be trying this method starting this year, and building up our soil.Amy Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13791794778608236210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3280390706862225283.post-65844971648784854052012-01-24T08:53:25.289-08:002012-01-24T08:53:25.289-08:00I also live where there is lots of clay in the soi...I also live where there is lots of clay in the soil. We are able to purchase a product at our home stores (Lowe's, Home Depot +) called Claybuster. For the home owner with a typical sized city lot, this is affordable. Someone told me they thought you could have it delivered by the truckload.<br /><br />I have purchased several bags of Claybuster and when I am working on garden beds, I add it and mix it in.<br /><br />I also understand that compost will help amend clay soil also. Again, a truckload could be dropped at your location. I find with clay soil, I have to keep working on it and when I do amend the soil, the difference is very notable.Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13764379862617396667noreply@blogger.com
