The best way to get Clay in Stardew Valley

Of all the resources in Stardew Valley, Clay is perhaps among those you’ll need the most. Mainly, it's because the material is used to craft a Silo, where you can store grass to feed your animals. Here’s how to get Clay.  Realistically speaking, there are a few ways to get Clay, but like in most time management games — there's a work smart, not hard way to do it. You can mine it in the Mines, or at Clay nodes at the Ginger Island Dig Site. However, if you want to get a lot of Clay fast, there’s really only one way to go about it, and it’ll make you feel like a Knight in Chess.  The best way to get Clay in Stardew Valley There’s a trick embedded in Stardew Valley that allows you to gather a lot of Clay in a short time. To utilise this trick, go down to the beach towards the south with your Hoe, your Pickaxe, and plenty of food to keep your energy up.  Then, follow these instructions - don’t worry, I’ve included pictures of the entire process: Pick a spot, preferably somewhere towards the bottom left of the beach, and use your Hoe to till the sand, then use your Pickaxe to get rid of the hole.

Dig here and repeat the one up two across method, but only making four holes this time.
