Green Clay Soil?

Vespertino · March 24, 2014

I just discovered that I have clay soil- but it's GREEN. I've got about 4 inches of nice, dark, loamy soil but south of that it's sticky and green.

I'm not finding much info on green clay soils, anyone have any knowledge on it? I would have expected red or beige clay. Hrm.

I know the usual advice is to do a raised bed, but this particular area where I'm growing tomatoes is against the home foundation so I'm going to avoid that. I found a decent amount of worms as I dug through it, so at least there's living things in it.
