I thought the problem was adding fine sand. Somebody a while ago posted a
link of website showing soil profiles in Canada. It showed my soil having
basically no larger particles. Which explains why the fine clay particles
form that nice solid smooth surface. Adding coarse sand should help fix that
problem by breaking things up some. Assuming you get everything mixed up
well. Adding fine sand should make no difference. Leaving the clay like
concrete.
At least that's my understanding.
