You know what's funny? Actually, you *do* know this: In 30 years of gardening, in 4 different locations, every time I've loosened the existing soil with a pitch fork, and applied generous amounts of mulch (usually chopped leaves, lawn clippings, and/or straw), 3 months later, I have soil I'm happy with. I'll qualify this by saying that I've never had to deal with really awful clay soil. But still....sometimes it doesn't take much, other than a little patience. Unfortunately, many people want to pay their money and have instant results.
