[QUOTE="Yorkshire lad, post: 2636132, member: 1561"] We have over the past few years stopped buying P and K using sewage cake and our own muck We have increased organic matter in our soils from 3.5 % to 6.5% I have also noticed rhat our soils seem to be harder to work to a seedbed if we plough it seems to turn over in a slab I have read that you can have to much organic matter in clay soils and the ideal content is 4% I find this hard to believe , I thought that you can't have to much organic matter ,but the Romans did make bricks from clay and straw I know the last few autumns have been damp and our soil had not cracked like it does in a dry year so is it more weather conditions or is my organic matter to high [/QUOTE]
