Answer 15

hey Greenman, too much inter- breading down your way !

Answer 16

Potatoes. They will break up the soil, and the frost next year will break it down some more. Then just dig in plenty of compost, and some manure or fertiliser, and if it is really heavy clay, some sharp sand too. Get it friable, and grow away!

Answer 17

Well, crows grow in eggs.  However, crops such as cotton and soy beans do moderately well in clay soil.

Answer 20

You grow crows in crows-nests.

However, as it's a typo, yes I'd agree, potatoes do well. Plus dig in seaweed, sand etc to help break up the soil.

Answer 21

The best crop for clay soils? First, determine if you can add ammendments without going broke in time as well as money. Your soils are the hardest to work with. Add composted organic material (PEAT MOSS is good for the $$) and mix well to break up the soil and add nutrients as well as getting a good micropore to macropore relationship. Clay soil for a lot of reasons will be low in nitrogen so add some and be aware that a lot will be lost to the air for chemical reasons, so be generous.  If you don't have a lot of sand in your soil adding some will help but a better thing is perlite or vermiculite to lighten the soil. Lime and/ or cinders will help but be careful, you may want to test your soil pH first. Clay is hard on plant roots if heavy and can stay wet. Plant roots need oxygen like plant tops so the organics will help. The great thing about clay is the way it captures and dispenses nutrients and helps with moisture retention but too much is as you can see a problem.

Take time to mulch if drying conditions may be a problem, but mulches should always be used when possible for a huge number of reason.

CROP CHOICE? Unless you have ammendments, shy away from root crops unless you can deal with low yields. Grow anything you want, but crops that need well drained soils should be raised a bit and mulched and have organics worked in well. Add organics as often as you can and it gets better and better every year. Fertilize with higher Nitrogen. Treat your Mother (Earth) well and she will love you in return.

Answer 22

Cotton, Peanuts, Canola flowers or sunflowers.

Answer 23

Potatoes as someone earlier said. Also in addition, plants which grow modified stems or roots like ginger, onion etc.
