   How do you grow a heather plant?

   • If you have a heavy clay soil, either double-dig the ground (to 2 spades' depth) and incorporate lots of peat or ericaceous compost mixed with one-third of sand or grit to improve drainage, or plant your heathers on a raised bed using an equal mix of compost, composted bark or peat moss and sand. This will create a free-draining, acidic soil.
