Discuss the difference in approaches you would take when preparing a heavy,

clayey garden soil versus a sandy garden soil.



What will be an ideal response?


To prepare a heavy, clayey garden soil, plow in the fall of the year to allow the soil to be
planted earlier in the spring because plowed soil dries more quickly than soil left
unplowed. Plow under barnyard manure, crop residue, or leaves to add organic matter
to the soil. For sandy soil, planted with a fall cover crop such as rye or vetch to grow
green manure and then plowed in early spring. Sandy soils require a high level of organic
matter to assist in holding moisture and plant food.
