Finally....cedar raised beds for my very clay-ey soil and some organic top soil to fill them. Have tried for YEARS to amend this soil, only to find I have too many soil problems and this year I'm finally going to take the bull by the horns. Yes, A little over $1000. Now I can actually plant things and get a crop! Also, this was the only way my husband said he'd help in the garden after 28 years of doing it mostly by myself.
