If your garden has heavy clay soil, you'll know what hard work it can be when it comes to digging and planting. This type of soil has a habit of becoming rock hard in summer when it dries out and becomes compacted, sticky and unworkable during the colder months.
These are conditions where plants can struggle to thrive. Clay soil does have its advantages, though, and there are many positives if it's managed with care. It's good to know that there are many plants that will thrive in this type of soil, especially if you take measures to improve the soil texture.
