- Hi, everyone! Today I decided to discuss how I resolved most of the clay soil issues around my patio and some other tips.

I lived for 11 years in Perrysburg, OH about 4 hours north of you. Like you we bought a house in a subdivision that had been a farm. Yes, the builders scraped off the topsoil and sold it leaving homeowners with clay subsoil. Ohio is well known for pottery made out of clay like you got out of that planting hole. The builders also disposed of smaller construction debris by burying it onsite. That was my experience. You are figuring your challenges out because your garden looks lovely!
I follow some homestead vlogs like R&R, but dealing with flowers and clay soil in a yard is my reality. I learned a lot.
I moved from zone 7 Southeast NC to zone 5 Wisconsin two years ago. I moved from a yard with beautiful soil to a yard with hard clay soil. I planted a row of Limelight Hydrangeas next to my privacy fence facing east ? But I'm planning on digging them all up this fall and amending the soil and then replanting them. I have so many beds that I've planted in the last two years, but none are draining well. Sadly I created a lot of work for myself, but it's a learning experience. Thank you for posting about your soil and helping out the animals. I use my Amazon Prime Smile to donate to animal shelters. Lots of people don't know that you can use the (Amazon Smile) to give a percentage to a charity of your choice. I'm always looking for people dealing with the same clay problems so I've subscribed to learn more. Your garden is beautiful and an inspiration.
I’m so glad you made this video! I’m the one that talked to you today about your garden. I think the whole neighborhood is clay I used an auger for my fence. And it is clay as far down as you can go.
I recommend Stockslagers Garden Center on St. Rt. 35 west of Dayton. Family owned garden center and my happy place! 🌸❤️
I love you and Jess both so I’m excited for her visit too
Hidden gem Groovy Plant Ranch Marengo Ohio just above Columbus!
Thank you for this video!!!! I’m also a Southerner (VA) who moved to Dayton, OH about 4 years ago.
👋🏻 Welcome! 😀
Your standard is looking gorgeous 💕 I started mine last year into a standard and he’s doing really well 😀
I grew up in Columbus but haven’t lived there since 1976. So exciting to have Jess visit! I love your dedication and service to animals. Thanks for the advice on clay soil. Have fun! 💗
How Wonderful to have Jess visit!
Topiary Park in downtown Columbus! Has been some time since I was there, but it was a short, beautiful visit and parking was easy and free right by the park!
Hi Matthew, I must say that burgundy is your color! I have heavy clay soil also, so it's nice to hear how you amend it to help with drainage issues. I definitely need to add more amendments to my soil, and I probably need to back off on watering a bit.
I'm looking forward to your gardening adventures with your upcoming visitor Jessica. I also love her channel. Have a great rest of the week. ~Margie
I noticed the shirt also, looked good with the flowers in the background. 👍👍
Matthew, how fun to have Jess visit! Try Knollwood Garden center in Beavercreek and Grandma’s Gardens on 48 in Waynesville.
Oh, teaser! I thought she would be in this video.....well waiting for the next one! 😊
Good talk about clay soil and what happens with shrubs and things my situation isn't quite that bad but I have probably tilled in a lot of organic matter over the last 30 years I'm trying to go more no till ish but I can work more of the bad clay up from the bottom and get more organic matter lower with the tiller then I can buy shoveling
Hello from South Eastern, OHIO! I was so surprised to see Jess heading to Ohio and had to learn where she was going. New sub- I am 4th year in to owning 20 acres and have had so many of the issues you have discussed here. I'm so excited to combine your flower knowledge with Jess and Miah's veggie knowledge.
I have found lilies suck up the water in area that remain wet.
Hi Matthew! It's always nice listening to you. You have such a pleasant, calming voice. I love the way you explain things so that everyone can understand what you're doing, or have done. I think I've seen all of your recent videos, but don't remember you mentioning Jess coming for a visit. How fun for both of you! I'm so glad she introduced you to us in her video. I've been enjoying you ever since. It will be fun watching the two of you together again. Would it be possible for you both to talk about your history, like how/when you met, etc.? I would really enjoy that! Your shed looks so good. Love the colors you picked. It's great that you are involved in supporting the pups. Is that where you got yours from? Thank you so much for sharing!
You're so sweet - the event for the pups is perfect. I thought I misheard you when you said "poop show" thinking you meant "pooch show" so I whooped with delight when I read the competition. So funny!
Great information as always about the soil. Around my area is nothing but clay, so I'm not sure what will be more cost effective - raised beds or amending the land. Time will tell!
Hello!! New sub from Roots and Refuge. Decided to check you out and found this video very helpful. Just moved to new home in the southern MO and have found we have very thick clay soil. Haven't ever dealt with clay before was used to sandy soil. Strange that moving 10 miles up made such a huge difference in the soil consistency. Thank you for the information. Look forward to more.
We had the same issue with a Venus Dogwood we lost. Our local garden center replaced it and let me pick a new Dogwood. I chose a Ruby Red Dogwood. My husband dug a HUGE hole. We did some amending, and he also dug a channel and put in a PVC pipe to drain the water away. He tested it before planting. It DID drain away. The Venus had cracked up the trunk last winter and by the spring, only 1/4 of the leaves came back. And when we dug it up it was holding a lot of water. I’m wondering if the hole that previously wouldn’t drain had the tree so saturated, that when the water froze, it cracked the tree up the main trunk. I’m really hoping we have resolved the issue and the Ruby Red Dogwood and it will thrive next spring. I thought the PVC pipe was so smart and had never heard of anyone else doing that until now.
That’s so interesting! Yeah it was holding water so bad I tried anything I could think of and the PVC seemed like a good option since it was already on a slope. It’s thriving so far!
Hi Matthew! You may want to check out White Oak Garden Center, I always enjoy going there. So excited to see what goodies you and Jess are able to find here in Cincinnati!
Your shed barn looks great! I’m going to Natorps tomorrow. I wish they were opened today. I use to shop at Greenfield Plants in Maineville & will again in the future when we move back to that area next year. But my fav is Natorps..love the prices too. Have you tried Grandmas Gardens in Waynesville on Hwy 48? It’s a fun place…Also lots of pretty yard decor. Can’t wait to see what Jess helps you with.
Yes, we will be going there too!
The shed looks so cute! I love it! I wish my development did not require it be same as my house color…I really like the dark color. I have window boxes that would probably be a better backdrop than white. I am looking fwd to serious southern accents with you and Jess!
What a treat to have Jess come stay with you! Tell her I said hi! I hail from Columbus. Straders and Oakland Nursery are both really good nurseries in Columbus.
Is the Franklin Conservatory garden still in operation in Columbus?
@@jamieraible1663 I believe it is. I no longer live in Columbus, but I think I saw someone on Facebook post pictures recently. I loved going there. Beautiful place.
Have you ever tried using gypsum to help with your clay soil? I've used it in my raised garden beds and front perennial garden to combat my clay issues with success, but it needs to be continually reapplied seasonally I'm told. I'm still experimenting with it here in Wisconsin.
That is one additional thing I added to the bed I forgot to mention. Lots of gypsum, but it does have to be added over and over consistently. It’s also a slow fix.
Thanks for this info. I am in the same situation where the builder scraped off the topsoil and left us clay. I recently put an ornamental maple tree into a new bed and had a heck of a time trying to amend the clay. Still working on it and your video helps alot. Curious about the PVC pipe for drainage and what that looks like.
I need to know when you will be a Berns. Or Stockslagers. They are 2 of my favorite near me.
Hi Matthew. Love your garden. Have you ever visited The Secret Garden in Waynesville? They have wonderful outdoor decor. It’s a beautiful place just to walk through. Love watching you and Jess. She would probably really love the decor at The Secret Garden 😉
Yes, I’ve planned to go there as well. I hope they still have a good selection this late in the year!
@@TheSouthernersNorthernGarden we were there 2 weeks ago… still have tons plus all the fall things!
New to your wonderful channel so sorry if you have answered in another video but have you used pine soil conditioner mixed with your clay and how did it go? Natorps wouldn’t let me leave without it. I dug a hole today I know drainage will be an issue I did add perlite today for the first time. I read clay clogs perlite but mixing with my hands and a shovel today - the clay and with the pine conditioner and some siltier soil I can get before I hit more clay - I don’t think that is necessarily true. It looked pretty loose to me and I will keep using the perlite.
If I heard correctly you're looking for Invincibelle Ruby hydrangea? I ordered them from Bluestone Perennials this year and though small, they bloomed. I hope you check them out.
Thank you for the recommendation! I’ve looked at Bluestone before, but I don’t think I’ve ever ordered from them.
Don't make it weird...🤣🤣🤣 I'd fan girl so hard if I ran into y'all. But no worries I'm in Tennessee.
Haha....don't make it weird...that made me laugh😁🤣🤣🤣
Hi there! How does the clay soil there compare to Alabama red clay? I removed everything from an entire garden bed this summer, amended with compost and soil conditioner, and replanted in a single day! That area held onto water more than other garden beds. **Fellow Alabamian here! Roll Tide! **
I’ve never had a garden in Alabama myself, so I don’t have any personal experience. My grandfather was a huge gardener in Alabama and was always successful. The land is so different between lots it’s hard to say. I just know some spots on my property will absolutely not drain at all. It’s super frustrating, but I’ve learned to watch for the signs that a plant will likely struggle when digging.
Matthew, would you mind sharing the exact color of gray you used on the shed. It looks great, and I have a shed ready to be re-painted soon. I'd like to copy your color scheme if you don't mind.
The colors are Peppercorn and Tricorn Black. Lots of “corn”. 😂 Both by Sherwin Williams.
@@TheSouthernersNorthernGarden Thanks so much. I love what you're doing with your place.
If you know some horseshoe pitchers, and I know that Ohio has a lot, they would probably love to buy your clay, (unless they have the same problem in their yard!?!).
Grants Farm and Greenhouses

Great place for plants, very knowledgeable dedicated staff. If you come let me know! Would love to meet you both as I am only a few minutes away. I am sure you have seen videos of Amanda Paladini with Jess, I am Amanda’s aunt.
I have been fighting with my clay soil for decades
I donated cant wait until the poop show...haha.
Thanks so much for supporting the animals!!
@@TheSouthernersNorthernGarden My pleasure. ❤ I like animals more than I like people,lol. We have to be their voice.🐈🐕🐈🐕
