So do I, Adam, so do I.  I agree, it is great for clay soil and if I
could get it more easily, I would  not have to dole it out so
sparingly.  If I do hear of any movement in that regard, I will post
about it.  Keep your fingers crossed for all gardeners - it would
certainly be a major boon for us all IMO.
