The majority of the clay is still on the bottum. ( he stopped digging about the time he hit clay) the mojority that is exposed now is sandy loam that the area is known for. I unfortunately have alot of time on my hands. If it takes me baby sitting it, spreading seed and watering it daily, thats what I can do to promote and sustain plant growth. I am guessing that trying to clear water before this would be as affective as flushing a couple hundred bucks down the crapper.
