Vitax Clay Breaker Soil Additives,

Product Information

NatWest, RBS and Ulster Bank to close at least 172 branches in 2023/24 – here's the full list, plus alternatives Even where a clay soil contains for example 40 percent clay particles (a relatively modest content compared to heavy clay soils), the proportion of clay in the top cultivated part of the soil would have to be reduced by half to make the soil easy to work. This would require 250kg per sq m (460lbs per sq yd) of grit or gravel. Adding materials to clay can also make the clay less stable, so the soil becomes harder to manage. Experimenting on a small scale at first is recommended to be sure that any additions are worthwhile and won't have damaging effects on workability of the soil." NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and Ulster Bank, which are all part of the NatWest Group, will now shut at least 172 of their bank branches in 2023 and 2024.

Clay particles are amazingly dominant in a soil. This is explained by the relative size of the different particles (clay, sand and silt) that soil contains. Clay particles are very small but, because this allows more particles to fit in any given space (say 1cm cubed), they have huge surface area that dominates the physical properties of soil. In comparison, sand and silt particles are larger, so fewer particles are needed to fill a space (say 1cm cubed again). As a result, the overall surface area of sand and silt is smaller and so much less influential on determining the characteristics of a soil than the clay particles. All these remedies will take some time to achieve full effect and you may find it most expedient to confine initial efforts to the top few inches or to the actual planting and sowing rows, then in time the improvement will spread into the lower levels. Many plants such as the major salad crops would not benefit from cultivation beyond about the top 4 inches. Have you considered growbags for the initial stages, when exhausted the contents form a valuable resource for soil omprovement and the cost is similar to bags of compost. Before sowing and planting: Fork in Levington Organic Blend Farmyard Manure to the soil surface and to the bottom of the planting holes, drills and trenches for an abundant crop of flowers, fruit and vegetables.
