@waxeagle We plant every year. Clay soil, often needs help. We put some landscape timbers together to make a raised bed in our front yard where we get the sun.
@MετάEd yeah, all of my soil is pretty much clay which is why my effort two years ago went so poorly (plus a late start and locating it in a part of the yard I rarely venture to). It was more than I was able to do last year to keep the grass mown :(
@MετάEd lol, that sounds a lot like what would happen with me. i'll likely figure out where the closest extension office is, go, get the sample thingy, collect, then never return it...
