Presented by Ashley Troth, PhD, Horticulture Agent, Durham County Cooperative Extension
Every Durham gardener knows the frustration: clay (or sometimes sandy!) soils that are difficult to work with. But beyond their bad reputation, Durham’s clays can provide a great foundation for edible and ornamental gardeners, provided you know how to balance drainage, organic matter, nutrients, and pH. This presentation will also touch on soil selection for raised beds and containers.
