It can be used at any time of the year, but the best results will be obtained when applied during autumn after rough digging of the affected areas. I realise this thread is a few months old but I wondered if anyone can give me some advice re clay breaker and manure?

It will break up even the heaviest clay, making soil easier to work, improving drainage and enhancing soil warmth to encourage crops to grow earlier. Maybe you could also get some top soil, but unless the layer of clay is broken up under it, it won’t drain well. When to use: Granulated for easy use around the garden, Clay Breaker can be used at any time of the year. Clay Breaker will break up even the heaviest clay, improving friability and making the soil easier to work. Lime is best applied in autumn as Vitax Granular Garden Lime which is scattered over the soil surface and left to do its work over winter.On extremely heavy, solid clay adding grit to the ground in autumn can be very effective, especially if it is spread on the soil surface with copious amounts of organic matter such as garden compost or bulky manure. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Again, if the soil is rough dug and left in large lumps, the grit and manure are spread across the surface, winter wet and frost do the work.

We are on heavy clay too- but it has been worked well over a number of years prior to us being here.The problem is that we moved in late and it had grown so long that we had to butcher it to get it mown as we had a bad lawn mower and it never recovered.

I had not intended it for indoor use, I will wait and see if the flowers on the hall carpet improve. Pictured variations are chosen at random during picking and requests for certain variations cannot always be guaranteed.I don't think I was supposed to throw out the clay soil and replace it entirely with clay breaker at the bottom and garden soil at the top. I've had some sucess over the past few months with using vitax clay breaker and pelleted chicken manure in my front garden.
