First thing to do is get a soil analysis. Your county extension agent
should be able to help you.

Thanks, I'll check into that.
Most of the soil is heavy clay, so I dug out about 7 sections for the plots.
I've heard that Gypsum can be added to break up the clay. This soil had
enough clay that a block of it could be spun on a potter's wheel.
