You can get lucky and plant an avocado tree in your yard and find success on your first try. But for many people, myself included, it takes killing a few trees to learn how to grow an avocado successfully in a particular situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One situation that many people find themselves in is a yard with heavy soil, that is, a soil with a high percentage of clay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, in some locations and in some years, a lot of rain falls. This can make any<\/em> type of soil stay soggy for too long if the rains are continuous or the soil is shallow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
