I have quite heavy clay soil too, and there were suggestions on here to use green manure. I'm keen to try this method using Phacelia. I've looked at the ways to sow the seed on line, and it always says dig over the soil, and rake to a fine tilth, and scatter sow......well if I could actually do that, I wouldn't need the green manure anyway

Then it says rake the seed over, well all I'd be doing is moving the lumps around if I did that

Would lumpy soil be ok, it's difficult to break up to a bit smaller than tennis ball lumps, will it still germinate ok? Anyone know from experience? Also is it still alright to sow late September. Thanks for any advice.
