[quote=Anonymous]You really do not need to amend the soil. The plants will take care of that over time. Just pick stuff that will work with your soil type. These plants have a large root systems when growing. When they go dormant about 60 to 70 percent of the roots die off. So each year the roots break the soil, die and add the dead roots material to the soil(deeper than you could dig). If you want to add stuff to the soil, just put it on top and it will get worked into the ground. This is why the prairie has great soils.
