Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comWe have clay type soil. It doesn’t grow things very well. Our little garden plot is struggling. The soil looks bleached out and clearly lacking nutrients. We’re going to add a load of nutra-mulch or something this spring, and are wondering if it’s best to remove the top layer of old soil, 2 or 3 inches, before adding the mulch. Or if it doesn’t really matter, as the deeper soil won’t be any better anyway. Thanks.
