Road Show from Rodbaston
Heavy clay soils, light sandy soils and old coal tips are just three examples of poor soils which gardeners are forced to deal with. What can be done to change a poor soil into a good growing medium? Does farmyard manure really help and how effective are new chemical cures?
These are some of the questions put to panellists
Clay Jones , Stefan Buczacki and Alan Mason and their guest, soil scientist Robert Shield , when they meet members of the Staffordshire Association of Produce Guild and staff and students of the Staffordshire College of Agriculture.
