I planted the 1149 Reid and 1245 Berard in soil that had not grown plants in about ten years. It was a sand volleyball court I built for my daughters who played volleyball in high school. They've moved on to college now, so the court has been converted to a pumpkin patch. I figured the sand would compliment the heavy clay soil. You may still be able to see the volleyball net. Very few amendments were added at first, because I have lost all my recent plants at the house to foaming stumps and eventual wilting of the plants. I wanted to avoid this if possible, so the plants started out as low energy plants.
