Vitax Clay Breaker Soil Additives,

Product Information

I have raised beds already but stupidly dug in the clay soil into the bed and added compost which hasn't helped break it up. adds that all important humus to the ground, the organic matter that keeps those clay particles apart, improving the structure of your soil and giving your plants the best possible growing conditions. I have dug in sacks and sacks of compost but nothing is working as when it's wet it is waterlogged and when it dries out it's like cement!
