Why is clay not a good soil type to grow plants?

Clay soil is actually excellent for construction when used to make cob. Cob homes can be very inexpensive to build and require few tools. Cob homes generally have an R 30-50 insulation rating, and many like the ones in the north of wales where it is very wet and moist have stood for hundreds of years. Because cob is not a dimensional material, very interesting homes can be constructed with curved walls and nooks, shelves, beds, benches, cob ovens, rocket stoves, etc. built right into the home. Cob is a mix of clay soil, sand, and straw and there are some very nice modern homes built with cob.However, you would not want to set a foundation into expandable soils like clay without special consideration. When expandable soils like clay get wet they will expand. Standing a foundation on it can result in cracks where the clay has expanded and pushed the foundation up or in. Expanding soil like clay can exert several thousands of pounds of pressure upwards or outwards when it gets moist and expands.When mixed properly, cob will not shrink or expand much because of the sand.
