My soil is full of clumps of clay and I’m wondering if this is the answer. Any issues with using it?

    I’m unfamiliar with the product but a quick read through polylignosulfanates and their industrial uses caught my eye when it mentioned deflocculation - my understanding is that materials like gypsum increase flocculation of clay particles, causing them to have additional pore space. That process allows better penetration of water and humic substances in addition to plant roots. Maybe @Track_Shovel has some input; he’s a better dirtnerd than I.

      I need to do some googling to understand exactly what that means, thank you for the info. That garden bed is just so bloody dense, with random lumps of clay and constantly damp.
