Adjusting soil conditions in shade gardensIf your soil contains either too much sand or clay, it can be conditioned using the same process for both problems. Spread 2 inches of soiless mix, compost or a 3 to 1 mixture of peat and vermiculite over the surface. Dig deep; dig again; and rake to a smooth, finely particled surface. Next, set a small wide-mouthed jar in the middle of your garden, turn on the sprinkler, and don't turn it off until the jar has 1 inch of water in the bottom. Then, wait a day or two before planting.
