There is clay in the soil, but it has been worked quite a bit in the last couple of years with manure and topsoil. However, I have not added any of the things you mention. As for the dripline, I hadn't paid any attention to it and didn't realize it was an issue. Our roof has a very steep peak but the way it slopes I don't think there is a lot of runoff in this area. However, I might not be understanding the issue fully. Here is a picture of the house taken just this May . . . can you see the trellis down there in the middle? It's actually leaning against the chimney, technically, I guess, which brings it out from the roof line somewhat, right? I don't know. I am not in the least bit offended; just grateful for feedback. :)
