In our garden you can see where we walked a lot in the 6 months after laying the lawn (we took down and added a new shed so there was lots of tramping back and forth) as the grass doesn't grow as much or as strongly as the other areas (stays short and not as dark green).

Vitax Clay Breaker is a well-known and long established soil conditioner for clay soil which does not affect the soil pH in the same way as Garden Lime, therefore it can be used anywhere, even among existing plants and on lawns after aeration. Some items are classed as heavy or oversize such as bags of compost, gravels, bird seed, large plastics, large boxed items or tools.We have solid clay soil which has been compacted down and had turf lain on top by builders as it's a new build garden. The problem is that we moved in late and it had grown so long that we had to butcher it to get it mown as we had a bad lawn mower and it never recovered. My aim is to get a bigger better compost heap going or as you say, at least 2 more plastic ones although i worry about the plastic eventually breaking down into the compost.
