When making a garden should I use clay?

No. Clay is quite rich in nutrients but lacks organic material and will dry out if not watered or will go sticky if watered too much. The ideal soil for a garden is a loam soil. It contains a balance of all three soil materials-silt, sand and clay-plus humus. Loam is dark in color and is soft, dry and crumbly-in your hands. Loam is a soil comprised of almost equal amounts of sand and silt and a little less clay.
