It's really my 1st time dealing with clay & man, oh, man; I could not believe how hard it was to dig a hole in it! I can dig 7 holes in the places that aren't clay in the same time it takes me to dig 1 hole in the clay! Then the clay sticks to your shovel or spade or whatever & you can't get it off. Plus, it sticking effectively *blunts* your tool. I am at a loss with how to deal with the blasted stuff!
Gypsum is definitely on my list!
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
