Hello to all. What a pleasure to find Dave's Garden.
I will be moving in to the Sanford area the first week in May and joining my husband who is currently renting in Carolina Trace. I am sad to leave family and friends here in the Rochester, NY area but very excited to leave WINTER behind forever. I look forward to beginning a whole new gardening experience but y'all (I'm practicing) are scaring me when you talk about the clay issue. We have clay here too but years of composting allowed me to have the gardens I desired. If I continue to compost in the manner I'm use to--will I win the red clay battle?
We will begin our search for a new home as soon as I arrive. In the mean time I plan to garden in containers. I love to use fresh herbs when I cook so I'll start there. I've picked up some very useful info from what I've read today...so keep it coming.
