Wow so I just lay the dead tree leaves and cut grass on the soil and that is compost? Do I just plant the vegetation directly on top?

How do I compost on a clay soil? Sorry newbie here 😹

Hey Melissa, Is bentonite the name of the red clay soil?

Bentonite is an extremely wonderful clay. You are lucky you have it. Read up on benefits, I think you will be happy. Send me some! I will gladly buy it off you!

I collect all cut grass and and dead tree leaves to form a 4 x 4 x 4 pile to create compost. I have used a compost accelerator to speed the process. In 2021 I created over 300 lbs and used it to grow vegetables in my 4 x 4 x 8 foot above ground vegetable garden. I purchased vegetables from our local Farmer’s Market and planted them using Dr. Jimz’s products. The yields were amazing: approximately 60 lbs of tomato’s alone. I had to enclose the plants with bird netting to keep the hungry birds at bay ! Check out Dr. Jimz’s products, there is the Chicken Soup for the soil, I plan to get ASAP for my lawn renovation project.
