Sawdust works for me. Must be the Bamboo! Breaks up the clay and makes the soil nice and loose. As for nutrients, we go once a year to our "local volcano" (aka Pisgah Crater just east of Barstow) to get big rock and place em' in the garden. For some reason, the plants grow real well when the lava rocks are near them. Our Bananas produce so many that we end up giving them away all summer. Mother nature likes us.
