August 29, 2025 - It takes about 3-5 cubic yards of organic material per 1,000 square feet to improve clay soil. Thoroughly mix the organic material into clay soil, to a depth of 8 to 10 inches. If planting soils are too sandy, improve water-holding capacity by similarly adding organic amendments. Organic mulch is recommended over the entire area after planting. Most evergreen shrubs growing in Colorado landscapes, whether recently transplanted or well-established, benefit from supplemental water during winter dry spells.
