Quote: The best time to work the soil is when it's nice and soft after a food soaking rain. Remember wedging clay in art class to make it more pliable and elastic? That's what happens when you work or till wet clay soil. Don't do it! It will take a year or two of freezes and thaws for the soil to return to anything resembling its natural texture. Sorry, but adidng a little sand to clay soil only makes bricks; what you need to truly loosen it up is lots of compost, dug in when the soil is at the dry, crumbly stage. Really? We don't get thaw or freeze over here. I don't dig the soil though- but its easier weeding when the soil is wet.
