Not necessarily, it can also be the amount of clay you have in the soil. If there is too much clay, adding organic matter won't resolve it. Your soil should be balanced in 3 equal parts, clay, sand, and organic matter. To find out what you have, take a large glass jar with a lid, fill it a quarter way full with your soil, and then fill the rest of the way with water. Close the jar, shake it up for 3 minutes, and then leave undisturbed for a week or 2. The contents will separate into 3 parts, clay at the bottom, sand in the middle, and organic matter on top. For there, you can determine whether to add more or less of what is required for what you are going, and also different plants like different soil gradients. For example, a Dragon fruit cactus loves sandy soil, lots of sun, and watered like a normal plant. Spinach loves clay soil, hot climate water lightly daily, and shade.

Well, he does a lot for us... it's a neighbor thing.

Good ideas. I’ve never done the jar test but I’ll give it a go. Thanks!!! 🙏🏼
