I�m posting some thoughts looking back at last season� with photos.
How can roots penetrate clay? Simply put, they don�t. My roots last year did not go deeper than 12� in most areas. In those areas, they were also 1/2� - 1/4� in diameter. Some of the tap roots never got deeper than 3� and ran almost 3� laterally just under the soil surface. That�s simply insufficient. However, I found positive results in the areas that I dug out when burying vines. Some of those root nodes were 29� long and over an inch thick! Talk about a noticeable change� Imagine what positive results my plant & fruit would have had if my entire patch had loose / aerated soil?
