Heavy Soil
Greetings Friends! I'm a bit of an over thinker and over planner by nature, but my soil has got me in an absolute chokehold.
I've researched all the brands, read the ingredients, and benefits of each, ordered in pallets of this stuff, and it's wet garbage.
I live in a HOA so large bulk drops of light, fluffy, quality soil is not an option for me.
I've had to rely on bagged soil, potting mix, raised bed mix, composted manure, and mushroom compost.
My issue is every last bag has been a heavy, wet, muddy, woody mess. I've kept the bags free of rain, but it's like dumping clumps of mud into my beds, grow bags, barrels, and pots.
My questions are, what can I do to lighten up the soil, will my plants and seedlings grow in that, am I in jeopardy of compaction and improper drainage, and what can I add to the soil to improve it?
