That, unforutnately, will proove to be one of your biggest problems. Red clay is very low in many of the components necessary to grow a lush lawn as it is a primary derivitive of the decomposition of limestone and/or some other rocks. Limestone is generally low in mineralogical content (Calcium Carbonate with traces of a multitude of other 'things' dependant upon your geological location).

I'm certainly not strong in botany nor do I claim to be strong in a 'garden' however; I'd say that one of your best bets is to bring in some topsoil and start from scratch...

I don't know how good granite is, I mean there was some dude's face in a granite mountain and now he is dead, all crumbled up into little bitty granite...

Can't go back to Calif???? Wash you mouth out with soap...

I would love to go back, just to many people out there that do NOT like to make money and GIVE it all to a few idiots in charge out there...
