Hi YSSIM--

I have checked, the claybreaker I use is by Multicrop:

http://www.multicrop.com.au/soil.htm

It's the first one on that page.

You can buy the stuff in hose-on packs, but every time I've ever bought a hose-on pack of anything I've wound up with lots and lots of water all over the garden and a full bottle still in my hand--in other words, it's never worked for me! I just mix it up in a watering can.

One thing I also swear by is a seaweed concentrate, like Seasol, at planting time to reduce stress. Doesn't matter what kind of plant, a dose of seaweed concentrate will do it good.

If anyone's interested, I'd be happy to post what I reckon is a pretty foolproof guide to planting any plant; a technique I've developed over four years of learning (sometimes the hard way!) about what works and what doesn't.

You're the best cynarion/mike!

And for the record - I would like to spend as little time as possible maintaining my so called garden! But am prepared to do my fair share of due diligence.
