Unpopular opinion: that viral thread saying you can't grow tomatoes in clay soil is just wrong and I have 3 seasons of proof
That thread got 40k likes last spring and everyone in the replies was nodding along about how clay soil is hopeless and you need raised beds and store bought mix. I almost believed it too, and was about to drop $300 on lumber and bags of soil at the Home Depot in Columbus. But my neighbor Ruth, who's been growing tomatoes in her backyard since 1987, told me to just dig a hole and mix in a couple handfuls of compost and stop worrying. I did that with 6 plants and got so many tomatoes I was handing them out to people at work by August. Now I'm trying to figure out if I just got lucky or if the whole raised bed thing is mostly for people selling lumber, what's your actual experience been?
