SUPERSALE Alabama Garden Grade red clay dirt 3LB

Description

So I packaged up a good number of boxes and stored it. Upon a quality control check I discovered that mold had grown in some of the clay, perhaps due to the organic material such as leaf and so on. So I'm dropping the price. It's still great for water plants, the garden, and so on. Baking it would kill any mold if you have other ideas. So would soaking it in water I'd imagine. Anyway that's why I'm selling these ones super cheep to get them out of my storage area since some of them might have some mold. Who knows, maybe most of them don't but I like to deal fair and cut great deals.
One of our popular products is Garden Grade Red clay.
We are pleased to now offer 3LB box of Garden Grade red clay.
Garden grade means that it is more likely to have organic material in it. Bits of root, a bit of sand here and there that washed in from the bank of the clay pit. Bits of leaf, and all that. Garden grade is ideal for soil amendments, making seed balls, making under soil water catchment, and so on.
I like to crumble it into my garden soil. Sometimes I hand make a baseball size balls of clay and poke a hole in it, then I burry it hole side up near plants in my garden.  When it rains, the hole fills up and holds the water under the soil where the plants can easily get it. This also works with smaller size balls of clay.
This is also great clay for making vitrified clay crumbles. If you have a firepit you can toss in a bit of clay when the fire has burned for a bit and has lots of hot coals. Then after the fire is out and it's had plenty of time to cool, you can scoop  your clay crumbles out. Or you can simply scrap everything left over and use it to amend your garden, leaving only the unburnt wood for your next fire.
Sandy soil with little to no clay content can make a yard or space look like it's in pretty rough shape.
You can put your garden grade clay in a bucket of water and let it become soft and soupy overnight.
The next day, you can pull some out and mix it with more water to make it more liquid and easier to spread. Then just pour it out on the sandy dry problem areas. This will help with water retention. Clay also has a lot of other soil benefits and helps hold nutrients in the soil. You can add it to your soil in a variety of ways. Some spread it on top and till it in. Others throw down a chunk and spray it with the hose till it's dissolved.  Building good soil is the most important part of a healthy lawn.
Some use this with potted plants. I like to burry at least 3 marble size pieces in every pot.
If it's a water loving plant I may add a bit more than that.
Sometimes I put them down in a grid within the pot.
So a layer of soil and then 3 marble size chunks, another layer of soil, another 3 marble size chunks. I fill some pots like that with good results.
