Clay Spreading

Clay Spreading began in the early to mid 1990’s in the Upper South East of South Australia, and has since become widespread practice for the treatment of non-wetting sands. Densley Earthmoving has been involved with clay spreading since its inception, and helped to refine the practice.
Benefits include:

• Correction of non-wetting sand issues
• Increase moisture infiltration
• Increase in water holding capacity of soil profile
• Reduction of fertilizer leaching through soil profile
• Increase in yields
• Increase in frost resistance
• Decreased risk of wind erosion
• Better quality pastures
• More even weed germination
• Increased microbial activity
