Clay soil preparation in the Perth hills

Posted 630 days ago

Hi,
I have just moved to Darlington and want to start a vegetable garden, however we have clay soil. What is the best thing to do to prepare the soil? I assume I will need lots of gypsum. Is there anything else I should do? Are there any good nurseries/garden centres around the area?

cheers

Definetly Gypsum. Im in the hills too and found that lots of compost and manure and a bit of old builders sand mixed in with lots of digging seems to be working. Get a really good quality mattock too.
