Yea it's real slippery when wet. Or like cement, I agree. I had alot of horse manure compost from last year and it makes clay much nicer. There's a place in town that sells everything like lime rock, garden rocks, mulch, compost, -everything. On occasion I send hubs over there and they dump some in the back of my pick up. Haha, their "compost" is the equivalent of what I call "garden soil".seminolewind, When my parents moved to KY, their soil was NOTHING like what they were used to dealing with down here. They too had that clay. In rainy season it was muck. In dry season it was hard, almost like cement. My mother did raised beds for everything up there. It was easier, and cheaper to do the beds, than to try to make the clay workable.
Cyn, what's your soil like up there on the mountain?
