What's best way to get clay ground to be better suited for gardening

I don’t know where you live, but we had to deal with lots and lots of red clay in Georgia. There they sell a product called Nature’s Helper in bags that you have to dig into the “soil.” It is definitely hard work, and you will still have lumps of clay. Depending on what you are trying to do, maybe making a raised bed with bags of top soil would be easier. Good luck!

Yes,Gysum will aid in breaking the soil down,also add pelletized lime,garden soil,peat moss

understanding and improving clay soil - the spruce

My sister had the same problem. She started burying vegetables that had gone bad or pieces that were left over from cooking. Then she hoed in leaves from the trees that fell in the fall. The third thing was to gather just basic news paper and lay it on top of the ground. She would cover the papers with leaves that were chopped up using the grass mower, or some type of mulch (not rubber mulch). This process is done each year so it may take a while, but she now has beautiful soil and even earth worms. This remedy is totally free and provides healthy planting soil. You can even still plant by cutting or tearing a hole in the paper while this process is going on. Hope I gave you some ideas that you can use!

Oh I forgot about the rocks! My sister live on a vein of quartz! The rocks were removed and stacked to make borders around her beddings.

it will be a good start,if you still cannot plant ,use a variety of containers and plant that way .

If you can afford it, have someone with a backhoe come and dig you a square hole as big and as deep as you want your garden and have them haul the red clay dirt off. Then get a couple of dump truck loads of 1/2 compost and 1/2 topsoil. That way you won't have to work yourself to death digging that rock and red clay. Start a compost pile as well.
