Default Re: Rocky, clay soil

That's not rock, that's sand. I have rocks from 4" to 16" and the rest is sticky clay. Drainage is almost zero. Dig a big hole, set the plant high, fill it with compost and about 6" above the ground, sort of like a raised bed. It will grow like a weed, if fertilized well. Have a hundred or so planted that way.
