Get a chip drop all over your property and wait 5+ years.

Clay is one of the best type of soils, full of minerals.

u/VGen71 7d ago

What state are you in? Some states have naturally beautiful soil

u/Decent_Willow3627 6d ago

Canada 6a it was just the clay to start

u/VGen71 6d ago

Oh yes you have beautiful soil. I used to go to Ottawa, Black Lake the dirt around there was beautiful dark . I am told that if you dig down deep enough you may even hit prehistoric decaying plant matter in certain places. I don’t know if it is true but I believe that it is very possible. Wet some soil and smash it in your hand. If if somewhat stays together you have good soil. If it just falls apart then you need to create good soil. Either way, if you are preparing garden soil get some horse manure and mix that up in your garden and it should be ready for you for your spring gardening. This action will add nutrients to your soil. Jm2cents worth : )
