Improve Clay Soil Effectively with ClayMend

Is clay soil frustrating your attempts to grow a healthy lawn and garden?

Improve Your Clay Soil and Bring it Back to Life Today

If dense, dry dirt is giving you fits, don’t give up, you can actually improve clay soil.  You can have clay soil and still have the lawn and garden of your dreams. In fact, did you know that clay soil can actually be better than top soil because of its ability to hold nutrients?

With ClayMend you can easily and effectively unlock that potential.  ClayMend can improve your clay soil by improving the environment of the soil.  As a result this can lead to an increase in true organic activity.  Soil pH can improve due to this activity and it works in improving the flow of air and water.  Furthermore, as a result of these improvements the clay soil can encourage more robust root growth.

What causes clay soil to become dense?

The problems with clay soil are caused by its physical makeup and its nutrient composition. It makes it quite difficult to improve clay soil. So what causes it to become dense?

  • Dispersed microscopic clay particles
  • Excess salt and sodium from environmental agents (which cause dispersion)
  • Irrigation by well water, reservoir water or other water high in salt
  • Animal waste

What problems are caused by clay soil?

Clay soil particles can hold nutrients (unlike sand and silt). Unfortunately the dense structure of clay soil can restrict nutrients from getting in the soil or lock up nutrients that are in the soil. Here are other results:

  • Poor air flow
  • Limited water reaching roots
  • Excessive amount of water lost through evaporation
  • Fungus due to improper drainage
  • Restricted activity of microbes
  • Restricted activity of macro organisms such as earthworms
  • High alkalinity
  • Suppressed root development
  • Nitrate runoff into downstream water

Are you tired of lugging heavy bags of gypsum or other heavy materials to fix your clay soil?

Traditionally bulk materials such as gypsum or lime are lugged in to amend clay soil. See our page How ClayMend Works to learn how ClayMend is a smarter solution that is much easier to use.

How can I soften my clay soil?

Understandably, homeowners often like to try do-it-yourself methods first. There are so many products and so much conflicting information online that can make you overwhelmed and confused. How do you sort the fact from fiction? There are some things you can do that may have short-term results. Here’s a quick rundown of some things you can try:

  • Lime. If you have acidic soil such as Georgia Red Clay, the lime can help reduce it. (This will eventually be lost with high rainfall, but it can help temporarily. Keep in mind that most soil is alkaline, and adding lime will make things worse.)
  • Gypsum. A popular soil amendment, gypsum is a sulfate mineral that can help breaks clay apart. The effect will last only for a few months. (However, keep in mind that the calcium in gypsum can add to the alkalinity of high-alkaline soil and make it worse.)
  • Compost. We always encourage the use of compost! But it takes a really long time to improve clay soil due to the poor microbial activity. Thus, the process to extract nutrients is slow.

A more sustainable solution to improving clay soil !

  • ClayMend. For robust, healthy growth in clay soil, you have to get to the root of the problem. You must improve the environment of the soil so that microbes can survive and thrive.  That is where ClayMend starts.  Then microbial activity works to restructure the soil.  One of the problem with passive amendments such as gypsum is that they diminish over time.  ClayMend is simply a more sustainable solution.

A Superior Soil Structure

ClayMend addresses almost all of the issues of hard clay soil by improving the soil environment, introducing beneficial soil microbes and supplying them with nutrients.  The proprietary blend of organic acids in ClayMend start the process by gathering the ultra-fine clay particles together and the microbes work to secure them together.  This process opens the soil allowing it to breath and as it opens the beneficial microbial activity increases and plant roots are able to establish themselves in the restructured soil. Many of these improvements by the organic activity become permanent unless something harmful to the soil such as salt is introduced.

Nutrients that have been locked away become free to be attached to the organic material and the clay structures for easy access by the plant roots.  Repeat use of ClayMend helps the microbial activity to work deeper in the soil for further improvement.  An active soil can maintain a superior soil structure for a much longer period of time than the temporary soil improvements from other amendments.

Best Soil Amendment for Clay

ClayMend is a Soil Amendment that

Gets to the Root of the Problem

It works to change and improve the structure of clay soil and to improve its ability to create and store nutrients.

A better solution is ClayMend that will work to improve clay soil in many areas.

As a liquid soil amendment it is easy to apply to lawns, shrubs, trees, flowers or vegetables.  It is able to get into soils where traditional amendments for clay soil are impractical. ClayMend can be applied to these areas and then rinsed off of the vegetation.  It is not harmful to the vegetation.  However, it needs to get down into the soil.  That is where it will work to improve clay soil and ultimately where improvements to lawns and plants occur.

ClayMend will help improve clay soil by improving many aspects of the soil, preparing it for a spectacular lawn and garden.

Cumulative improvements can result with repeat applications.

Space applications at 4 to 6 weeks apart.

ClayMend naturally works to open clay and other hard soils. It encourages biological activity that works to open up the soil. Remember that the root hairs that take up water and nutrition are tiny and even a slight improvement in soil structure makes a big difference in the plant. As the soil becomes more open roots that were physically restricted are allowed to grow more freely to absorb nutrients that have been locked away inside the hard clay.  ClayMend is a liquid that is easy to apply and is able to penetrate into the soil where it is impractical with other amendments.

The activity ClayMend promotes in the soil helps increase water penetration and improve fertilizer and water efficiency. Nutrients are more readily accessible by vegetables, flowers and lawns.

The end result… beautiful healthy plant growth!

Lacey J. – Atlanta, GA

THANK YOU! This product has saved my life. I have been a home owner now for 2 years. I love my home but the biggest issue I was facing was standing water on the side of the house and across the back yard. After “storm” rain” I’m sure you can visualize the puddles of water just sitting. Sometimes it would take up to two days before the water would absorb into the ground. I did a consult for a french drain to mend the issues. Of course thousands of dollars. I’m so glad I decided to research products that could naturally help the issue. I found “Clay Mend”. I read the testimonials and I was still a little apprehensive but I figured its worth a try. So glad I did. I purchased the 8oz bottle. I applied two applications and IT REALLY WORKS! We have had some heavy rain in GA but I am so pleased to look out the window and not see water around my property. I have already purchased the 16oz bottle to apply another application right before fall. Thank you again!

Jack and Connie R. – Middletown, NJ

My wife and I recently renovated a house and property that had been completely overgrown with lots of brush, briars, and poison ivy. We ended up clearing and regrading the property and it became very apparent that we had extremely heavy clay soil that did not drain well at all. Trying to grow a lawn was a disaster as we had standing pockets of water in areas that should have drained but didn’t, and the back of the property, where there were low spots and shade, just stayed swampy for weeks at a time and it was impossible to get lawn to grow there, or even to walk there without sinking up to your ankles in mud.

I found the ClayMend product on the web, and decided to give it a try even though none of my friends who were landscapers, or the people at the local gardening centers, had ever heard of it. I applied ClayMend twice during reseeding in the fall of 2018, and once in spring of 2019 and the difference is amazing. I no longer have any standing water anywhere; my “swamp” in the backyard is now usable property, has a lawn, and can be walked upon without sinking, even right after a rain, and my lawn and shrubs are very healthy. It has become a bit of a problem keeping up with the lawn cutting because it grows so fast, but I can live with that!

As a scientist I was skeptical about how well this might work, but the reasoning behind the product was sound. I did think it would probably take a few years for this to rehabilitate my soil, but it was apparent that it was working after the second treatment. I will continue to use this product because my ground can still use some improvement in certain areas, but the difference is truly incredible after only three treatments.

I would certainly recommend this product for anyone in a similar situation as it has allowed us to rehabilitate property that we thought was going to be a long-term nightmare. It greatly improved our soil drainage and helped us get a really healthy lawn started in a really short time.

Laura M. – Snohomish, WA

Remarkable product!

Didn’t think your product Claymend would work. I set up an experiment to see if and how well it worked. I put equal amounts of clay from the same hole in two separate containers. Both given the same amount of water. One was treated with Claymend, the other was not. I set them in a window and waited. In only a couple weeks the difference was night and day! I couldn’t believe it!  I even took pictures. Remarkable product!

June B. – Amarillo, TX

Thank you so much!

I love ClayMend and I have recommended it to many.  My friend moved from Georgia to Tennessee and complained about standing water after rains and how hard the soil was to work because of clay.  I told her about ClayMend and she ordered a large amount for their lawn and flower beds.  I told my local Lawn and Garden store in Amarillo, TX about it because the soil here is thick, sticky clay when wet and hard as cement when dry.  I have large flower beds around our fence line and next to our house.  I lost new shrubs all of the time because they would get root rot from water not draining.  ClayMend solved all of my problems!!!  I applied it first in 2013 and to this day I have soft, workable soil.  I ordered it again because I have a few trouble spots and it makes our grass look insane and my flowers are beautiful!!

James J. – Lovelock, NV

Best my lawn has ever looked!

I used claymend on my lawn this spring and I will say this is the best my lawn has ever looked through out the hot summer months we have in Nevada. It stayed bright green even in July and August.  My neighbors all ask what i use on my lawn as it is they best lawn they have seen. It really works.

Keith L. – Kissimmee, FL

Dramatically Improved The Soil

New ImageI just wanted to get back in touch to say just how impressed I am with the results of your company’s product.  After only 2 applications, the soil in my garden is transforming.  It is richer, darker and actually clumping (which it frustratingly never did before).  I am blown away with the results and can honestly say that Clay Mend does exactly what it promises to do.  It is a first rate product.

I am attaching some before and after pictures.  They give a very good idea, but do not fully illustrate how dramatically improved the soil is.  My garden this Spring is going to thrive.

Thank you for all your assistance, and thank you HumicGreen for such a great product.

Shelli M. – McAlester, OK

This is an amazing product!

I used your ClayMend product again and let me tell you how impressed I am! This is an amazing product!

Joanie T. – Grayslake, IL

What a difference!

I wish I’d taken “before” pictures, because the difference after just two applications is quite remarkable and I just don’t think people will believe how bad the clay was. I’m also thinking the ClayMend was responsible for the second bloom on my weigela, by way of making the nutrients in the clay more accessible. After the first application I spaded up big clods. Then I did another application and honestly, those clods were breaking apart right before my eyes. I didn’t touch them! I will be purchasing more because I’ve only done two-thirds of the way around the house so far and I have a lot more planting I’d like to do. Now I can spend my money on plants instead of landscaper fees to ready the ground for planting!

Cathy J. – Las Vegas

Claymend works

I live in Las Vegas and was having a hard time getting my grass to look healthy. We have a lot of clay in our soil and my grass was having a very hard time growing. In spots it looked blotchy and sparce. I tried different products and nothing seemed to help. My son recommended Claymend. I could not believe the difference! It is now healthy and beautiful. I even had some professional lawn care workers come over to my house to ask me what I was using on my grass! Thank you for making such an excellent product! I recommend it to all my friends.

ClayMend Works!

I tested ClayMend and it works! Late last fall just before the first snow storm I harrowed a 1.5 acre dry farm field to breakup the soil surface and then applied ClayMend at the rate of 1 gallon per acre. This dry farm field is a combination of grass and alfalfa planted 7 years ago. Over the past 7 years crop production had gone down and was very poor. After applying ClayMend last fall the yeild this year was amazing, given the dry winter and spring. The total crop yeild was 101 70 lb. bails of hay (67 bails per acre. The 3.5 acre dry farm field next to the 1.5 acre dry farm field, that was not treated with ClayMend, produced 129 70 lb. bails of hay (36 bails per acre.The end result, the field treated with ClayMend produced 82% more hay than the field not treated with ClayMend. This was a good test because both fields are dry farms re-planted 7 years ago with the exact same seed combination of grass and alfalfa. ClayMend works! I am going to apply it to all of my fields this fall.

Desiree – Iowa

THE most AMAZING Product

We built a new home last year and so we’ve had to start from scratch and create all new flower beds. Once we tried to take a spade to the soil, we realized that we were dealing with serious clay! Ever since the soil thawed, I have worked for hours trying to amend the soil. I’ve brought in more top soil, and worked in compost and spaghnum peat, it all helped, but it was still a battle. I was searching the internet for help on solving my clay issue and came across ClayMend. I figured I had nothing to lose. After just one application, I let it sit overnight, and the next day I started to work the garden and the earth was crumbling before my eyes! This is the real deal and worth every penny!! After applying, I pulled my plants out of the ground and re-planted. They are now growing and looking healthier every day! This stuff is MAGIC! THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! Desiree

Nate B. – Salt Lake City, UT

Very Happy With the Results!

My neighbor treated my damaged dying lawn with ClayMend, HumicGranules, BioBuilder and GreenZyme. It came back much sooner than expected and seems to need less watering. I’m very happy with the results.

M. A. Barney – Salt Lake City, UT

It Worked Wonders!

Unfortunately, I had my English Laurel bush trimmed by a very inexperienced person. It was in such bad shape I thought it would have to be removed. I was upset, as it had been there a number of years and would leave a large bare spot at my front door.  At my Neighbors suggestion, I applied ClayMend and Humic Granules around “Winston” as I call him; and it worked wonders. He is almost as good as new.  P.S. The Nasturtiums around the base outdid themselves!

Chris H. – Kaysville, UT

Brought Our Flower Bed to Life

The soil in West Kaysville is clay and salty. When we built our house we brought in good planting soil for all but one flower bed in our yard. All the beds with the good soil grew well, but we could never get plants to grow in the bed that we didn’t add good top soil. We tried everything from Myke to Miracle Grow for nearly 5 years and nothing ever worked. Then last year we heard about HumicGreen ClayMend and decided to give it a try. We applied it to our bad flower bed and by summer the plants were growing a-maz-ing! Honestly, I couldn’t believe it worked that fast. The flowers were huge and beautiful and the puny Rose of Sharon plants exploded. We had some left over from the bed, so we tried it in our garden and the results were awesome. The peaches were bigger than ever. This product really works!

Ken H. – Salt Lake City, UT

Works Great!

I have used the product for about a year. Sometimes when I’m out mowing my lawn, people driving down my street will stop and tell me I have the best looking lawn in the neighborhood. The neighbor’s milkman and his young son even knocked on my door one day because his son noticed there we’re no brown spots on my lawn and wondered what my secret was. Thanks Humic Green!
