Barney,

In California where if it is not raining some soil? is as hard as an adobe
brick we use gypsum to help with the problem.  At a recent talk by Richard
Richards [reblooming iris], he reccommended that to our heavy clay soil we
add about 1 pound per square foot [That's about 2 cups] and work it into the
soil.
