Well I have several truckloads of compost rototilled into the soil for my vegetable gardens in the backyard. Placed some already nicely composed compost from the Horse Association off of Longview drive here in Sacramento along with compost from my normal outlet Longer’s landscape.
I had to really break up the roots from the raspberry and grape vines I let run wild last year that really compacted the clay soil in one garden. In the other garden I had to break up the roots from the neighbor’s trees and some mint plants roots that were running wild and deep.
After the initial rototilling to break up the soil I mixed in the two different types of compost and now the soil is very aerated and looking and feeling rich. I can’t wait to see what the results will be. I plan on placing some mulch on top of the soil this year too to slow water evaporation.
I also put back the initial placements of my drip system back in place and made some repairs for damaged attachments.
