Since the soil in Alberta contains copious amounts of clay, it’s an unavoidable hurdle for gardeners.
This is a fundamental key for the survival of grass in Alberta that most people are going without. This allows their roots to follow that flow downward, deeper into the soil, increasing its capacity to store nutrients for dry summers and long winters. Our native Canadian cool-season grasses prefer soil that allows a free flow of nutrients. Obviously, any living plant is going to depend on the soil it grows in. Grass is no exception. Clay forms as a result of the weathering and erosion of rocks and is responsible for Alberta’s concrete like soil structure. Over time this dried up sea floor sediment became clay. Alberta is fairly new to having land. Much of Alberta is an ancient sea bed. The sea floor was made up of fine silt, sediments and sea salt.
