@lioness There are spots of good soil, then areas of clay. I am such a neophyte when it comes to all this.! I want to go visit @jimhd and learn from him!! I went in to town this morning, and saw all kinds of flowers at the nursery, but couldn't bring myself to get some. I have no amendments. Guess I should start with that.

Ginger, Local nurseries are the best because they have plants that are appropriate for your location. I have found it is helpful to talk to the locals and ask how they prepped their soil which is like yours. (or was like yours)

@gingerw Good soil is certainly a key. Depending on how large a space you have, you can get amendments by the bag. You might send samples of soil taken from different places on your property to a field agency, and get their recommendations. I get mulch by the yard - I get it from a local supplier who lets me use their dump trailer, which holds 3 yards.
