Where I grew up we had solid clay - and gravel.

It is utterly heartbreaking - year after year after yrear.

If you want to enjoy your veg. growing the only practical solution

is to
build raised beds - a minimum of a foot deep to begin with, and then

keep
adding compsoted material to it every season.


And don't forget to add sand.
