[QUOTE="Texasmark, post: 1494567, member: 27848"] Funny, I was born in Houston and grew up in the area fighting the effects of Blackland Clays (Houston in particular). Tried and tried to get to the Piney Woods, and some acid tilting, tomato growing, sandy loam soil but for one reason or another didn't make it. So here I am on my farm of 40 years still in Houston Black Clay with it's slightly alkaline PH. Does make for soft water and no plumbing streaks and I do like that. Hot water heater electrode usually is wasted in 6 years and that wastes the HW heater...can't get the old one out. I guess my clay isn't all that bad after all as long as I work it as "it" wants to be worked, not as "I" want to work it. It doesn't need PH adjusters and if planted with the right crop, makes for fine summer/dry weather growing.....reason for the "Cotton is King" era. [/QUOTE]
