5.0 out of 5 stars Review of Gardening in Clay Soil, August 3, 2005

By	M. Duensing "desert rat" (Victorville, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This small, easy to read pamphlet lays out the exact how to's and what not to do working with clay soil. Clay soil can be so frustrating to work with but with the help of this book I feel that I can be much more successful in improving my soil thereby enjoying greater success in my gardening.

1.0 out of 5 stars Duh!, June 26, 2007

By	Angelo D. (Greenville, SC) - See all my reviews

Don't waste even the $4 for this pamphlet unless you are a complete idiot. Let's see - the best way to deal with clay soil is to cover it with over a foot of good quality top soil (at major expense). Gee - I never would have thought of that! I'm surprised that moving to an area with better soil wasn't a suggestion as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars good if short, May 25, 2008

By	ChaseBase (Maine, USA) - See all my reviews

I was not sure about these Storey County pamphlets, since they obviously enjoy a high profit margin despite their lower cost. But I haven't been able to reproduce this information on clay soils after looking in several longer texts.
