Planting Avocado Trees in a Raised Bed with Custom Soil Mix | Clay Soil Garden Solution

Thinking of growing avocado trees but stuck with heavy clay soil? In this video, I walk you through how we planted avocado trees in a raised bed planter using a custom soil mix designed specifically to improve drainage and root health in tough soil conditions.

🌿 Our Custom Avocado Soil Mix:
• 65% Native Soil
• 20% Decomposed Granite
• 10% Pumice
• 5% Organic Matter (Peat Moss or Compost)

This raised bed method is a great solution for gardeners in clay-heavy or poorly draining soils who still want to enjoy homegrown avocados! I’ll also show how we prepped the bed, why each ingredient matters, and tips for keeping your avocado trees happy in the low desert climate.

💧 Perfect for:
• Arizona & low desert gardeners
• Heavy clay soil challenges
• Backyard edible gardening
• Avocado lovers! 🥑
