Any “weed”, herb with a long root helps to break up soil. Takes yrs though. I have hard pan yellow clay in most of my 1 acre in NEPA. Will never be any good, must be dug out. Ha! Else, must use above ground containers and lots of purchased soil!! $$$$.

This is a hoax perpetrated world wide by governments and WHO -World Health Org., WEF -World Economic Forum, UN-United Nations., etc. Go to Geo Engineering with Dane Wigington to find out what is really going on.
