Nice one. I also used this technique in many of my potting mix. But now ive tried taking organic items buy mixing it in the soil and do heavy mulch. Also beneath the pot i added greens and browns which decompose further and add future aid for the soil nutrition and root ease. After plants die i put them back in their soil letting it decompose bringing extra carbon it absorbed. I repeated this process and my hard reddish -yellow clay soil is darkening and becoming soft with time. It will soon become soft and dark in colour It is the cheapest and the best form of converting the texture of the soil.

Dear@@atalegaonkar sir, Thank you for your kind query. Sir, we can spread it on soil and mix upto 40 to 50 kg/ acres of land and adjust it based on requirements.

Can we use this soil for growing aquatic plants like waterlily or lotus

[@organicgardening]

After this method the soil become porous and having high drain capability. Please use clay soil only to grow such plants. Thank you

Very nice information video but I have a question what should I do when I don't have river sand ? If I will mix cow dung in soil without river sand will my soil hard ?

[@organicgardening]

Dear sir, Thank you for your kind query. Sir, if river sand is not available then if possible please use stone dust. It will also work well. Also if we use compost with soil then it will also make our soil porous but it takes some time. Thank you

[@organicgardening]

For large scale gypsum also work good. Thank you

Dear@@user-hk3jg4dj7w sir, Thank you for your kind query. Sir, agar soil soggy ho ranhi hai to aap sand ko upar ki mitti hatakar aur mila sakte hai. It will help. Thank you

Sir. We made concrete box for plants.. Around 10_12 plants are there in box. Without knowledge we used only red soil. Now mud is too moist.. How to overcome this . can I add river sand now. If so please let me know how..

Yes Sir, We can add it. Please remove as much as soil surrounding the root ball of each plant and add sand and soil mixture. Thank you

Does rice husk does the same work if added along with vermicompost

[@organicgardening]

Rice husk will improve the soil but it will be very less effective with clay soil. Thank you

[@saltanatmirza5288]

@@organicgardening thanks alot

[@Chris-op7yt]

when you end up with 1/3 original clay soil and 2/3 added other materials, it can hardly be called amelioration of clay soil. more like almost total replacement. if this is for potting only, you might as well get good potting media, instead of mixing clay and sand, as it will still not drain well. best potting media is coir/peat based.

[@organicgardening]

Dear sir, Thank you for your useful feedback. We will definitely consider your opinion. Thank you
