Hi Liddington,

Firstly, if you are in liddington nr.Swindon may I say hello, you are in one of my favourite places...I have friends there! Now, south facing, acid, clay.....that's the same soil I have here in Angus. Better question would be what plants can't i grow? There are sooooo many great plants you could grow. Ask yourself what plants you would like to grow, and then find out if they will tolerate acid and clay!

A great many plants is the answer - suggestions above are good, find plants you like, work out if they'll like your soil before buying.
