[QUOTE="Blaithin, post: 7308197, member: 5764"] Don’t make the assumption because I live in an arid area I don’t have experience with what you’re talking about. If I said I lived somewhere with 1300 mm of rain annually would my advice be worth more, despite being the same? Maybe if I said I lived on an old glacial lake that had very little elevation change and, while a lot off good topsoil, it was all on top of a great gob of clay and relied on drainage ditches to help encourage water movement. Also 5 years is not a long time. Generally when switching to regenerative practices it’s a good idea to not look for decisive and consistent improvements for at least ten years. If you just say it isn’t working, I quit, then it won’t work. Keep doing what you’re doing and work on slopes and drains for draining what isn’t being held by the soil. Clay is not usually a nice thin layer where all you need is some deep rooting plants to poke holes through it. You need to work on getting the water to move horizontally, not vertically. [/QUOTE]
