Clay Soil and Technicolored Weeds-Clay Soil Tips by Hannah of Hey Hun Flower Farm Hey Hun, Clay soil got you down? When I was younger my grandparents used to pay me to pick rocks out of the rusty clay dirt they had on their property. It helped my grandpa mow and kept me busy. That red dirt seemed to struggle growing much of anything, but you could always find a bounty of Queen Anne’s Lace even in the heat of Summer.
