Finally got a rooted pepper plant back in my yard again, been going at it with gypsum & humic acid for the last month but it takes so damn long, the rain & sun made my yard super clay this year, pretty much forced me to dig a 3x3 and fill half of it with soil. Lost a few seedlings thanks to heavy rain and strong sun, a few pulled through though.

shishido & bell pepper in the pot, eggplant in the ground. Somehow I mixed them up, the bell pepper was supposed to hit the ground and the eggplant in the pot.

Yikes! That does look like clay. Till in a load of compost next year. Looks like you need some organic matter mixed in with that.

Not really sure but, I don't think it gets any worse than volcanic soil. The level of iron & manganese out here can actually bring on toxicities with certain young species, our dirt is red to the surface and the ground pictured has 5 gallons of ewc & 10 gallons of soil lol, still it looks clay as fuck. I'm dying for some compost right now haha
