Penny,

Thanks for the tip! Where do you buy this product? I am over in the central part of the state, and not sure it is available here.

I am in the Buffalo/Niagara Falls area and I have found it available in severa of our local nurseries. If BACCTO potting mix is available at any of your local nurseries, there is a good chance that they carry Garden Magic also as both are made by Michigan Peat. I have never seen it in the big box stores only local garden centers.

Hi Penny,
I have been using the Garden Magic Peat and Manure for a few years, but did not know about the topsoil, which would be good for my clay soil. Thanks for the tip. I will have to see if I can get the folks who carry the P&M to carry the topsoil also.

i tried cocco shells (a lot) once with a good result, but i can't find them anymore. near portageville/letchworth. let us know, sometimes i have trees come down in storms because they are rooted in clay, and it always seems to be such a good opportunity to start a new garden! cathleen

Also if you add a few shovels of compost in with the top soil and work that into the clay you get a nice loamy mix and by the way I have had less problems with slugs even with all the rain we have had lately. In fact I have only found 2 out of all the planting areas that I amended the soil with garden magic. There must be just enough grit in there to make them uncomfortable.
