CLAY
--------------
ASH

I have begun to think clay should almost get it's own 12 Step List.
Standard soil amendment for fairly ok soil is 1-3 inches, say, the first
year.
 This assumes UP TO a 25% amendment.  After that, you might get =away with
less, like an inch a year.  Remember, sq ft is a little intensive.

   OK What would you recommend for an opposite like coal ash.  I have a lot
of that in
my garden and plan on adding all the organic I can get.  Since my own
compost isn't
ready I will have to add some commercial stuff.  I think the same 2 bags
from Home Depot
should do nicely.  I still need to get the soil analyzed though.  What would
coal ash be?
Acid or Alkali.

   I did have plenty of squash and cucumbers last year.  Onions were small
as was the
corn ears.
