What's going on everyone? Welcome back to another episode of the podcast. Hope you're doing well out there. I would love to know actually where you're listening from and what you're doing. I've gotten a lot of interesting responses in the past. Some people

are listening to me while they take their dog for a walk. Some people are listening while they're out in the

garden, which I think is amazing. Some people listen as they're getting ready for their morning.

And wherever you are, thank you so much for listening.

Really appreciate the audience that we've built here,

the community that we've built on the podcast.

You know, there's, of course, there's the Epic Gardening YouTube, there's the podcast. You know there's of course there's the epic gardening

it better? So what are the signs of clay soil? The first thing you need to know is if you even have it and if you do, how heavy of that clay is in your soil, how much is in there, right?

And so the problem here is going to be how easily it compacts.

It was, it's very heavy, it's very dense, and it's hard to till,

it's hard to dig into.

You can also waterlogged the soil every single spring.

you can have a crazy amount of water just stuck in that clay soil.

Plants are going to have a hard time developing good roots.
