Default Re: Gypsum to "soften" the soil?

The calcium in the gypsum makes the soil clay particles clump together so that it makes the soil behave as if it were made of large sized particles. It can do wonders for drainage and workability. Another option would be to use large quantities of organic matter and work it into the soil. Your goal is to get a crumb structure in your garden soil.
