Shoveling soil that is mostly clay can be difficult because of the hardness of the soil, and because it sticks to the shovel. To make the clay soft so you aren’t working as hard, take floor or car wax and rub a light coat on the surface of the shovel using a clean cloth, then buff the surface. The wax will help keep dirt from sticking to the shovel, and will also keep the metal from rusting.
Learn about plant varieties so you can choose the ones with the best yields. A hybrid designed for your weather, and resistant to local diseases, will give a better yield than non-hybrids.
