elf1 > So--back to the soil. In fact the clay soil has many many useful nutrients that go beyond what the bizarre dogs absorb when they bizarrely snack on some. It just needs organic matter added to release the nutrioids from their cruel imprisonment.
elf1 > Fortunately, a clever photographer can get dog stuff out of some photos by actually (gasp) walking over and moving the weave poles and/or changing the angle of the photo. Then it looks like gardening in a normal yard, not like some sort of off-course trap in an agility course.
elf1 > The first step is to break up the big dirty filthy spots with a spading fork. The clay soil is lovely. If it's dry, it breaks into huge pieces that won't break apart because they are like bricks. Hitting them with, say, a brick, is likely to break the brick. If it is too wet, it won't break apart beause it is, duh, clay. Plus trying to take a photo has dog stuff in it (e.g., weaving poles, jump bars).
elf1 > And it smells wonderful! Rich and earthy, like a forest floor! Makes me think about being out hiking instead of here in the hot sun slaving away fixing a lawn AGAIN that the dogs have ripped to shreds.  Soon enough, my pretties, soon enough!  And now--back to work, while you use your imagination on what happens between the compost and the duggy-upped spots among the grasses.
elf1 > So, here's the problem. I have this small lawn area that happens to be right in the middle of the dogs' paths to everything. During the winter, when it is sopping wet and the grass isn't growing, it is torn to shred by thousands upon thousands of urgent squirrel-chasing missions, until I have less of what passes for lawn and more of what passes for bare spots. My mission, should I choose to accept it, is to fill the bare spots with sod. But note that every photo of anything in the yard is Dog Related. Note agility equipment in background.
elf1 > This is what my primary decomposers have manufactured for me. And it didn't cost me anything except some water. And sifting.
So--back to the soil. In fact the clay soil has many many useful nutrients that go beyond what the bizarre dogs absorb when they bizarrely snack on some. It just needs organic matter added to release the nutrioids from their cruel imprisonment.
