The picture above is from the Epworth Veggie Garden about a month ago. Most of the garden had standing water. One of the concerns was if soil microorganisms were about to survive these conditions. Once the soil dried a bit you could see cracks.
I was anxious to dig in the dirt a little to see if we had earthworms in the soil. Sure enough I found some worms. I'll get a truck load or two of leaf compost to add to the soil to help encourage more soil life. It seems like amending this clay soil is a constant battle. The soil is much better than 5 years ago.
