Terrain Red
Would it be good for planting in red clay, or should I buy land?
The land is full of red clay, I'm not sure if it would be healthy for plants, so maybe I should buy land. What should I do?
Your best option is to choose plants that are adapted to clay. roots plants are amazing in the fact that it can penetrate almost anything. The protective headgear called mucigel excreted substance that can penetrate the soil easily. Amending is fine if you can change the whole lot. When you add a soil amendment for planting hole only, you increase the probability that the roots will girdle. They want to stay in that area small hole and not out in the native soil. They also increase the likelihood that their plants do not get enough water because water will not a floor to another until the first floor has been completely saturated. That's why we always need new water plants straight into the root ball (where the nursery has been added that nice fluffy soil) until they are established. The fact that the soil is red is a sign of age, ancient soils and old cars rust. So you want to ensure that your plants are getting enough nutrients. Your local nursery or extension of services may be able to do a soil test to help decide on a system of fertilization. The best strategy is to plant what is best for their land. Again, your local nursery or extension service can give you ideas. Always you can have plants that are not adapted to their conditions, but require constant work. The question, do you want to enjoy your garden or be a slave to it?
