Re: Rocky, clay soil
I'm a big fan of raised beds. I have some bananas growing very well in a raised bed filled with soilless mixture. Probably 20% perlite, 50% peat, 30% compost.
I was planting a palm in Vegas and it took at least an hour to dig a small hole. The soil was loaded with rocks and was as hard as concrete.
