Pro tip: When clay won't budge, try giving it a good drink first.

I mean, it saves so much time and effort.

My cousin's pottery wheel in Austin taught me this the hard way. I spent an hour fighting with a lump of dry clay before he just said to soak it overnight. The next day, it was like working with soft butter instead of concrete. That same logic applied when I tried to fix my garden soil last spring. I kept adding water to compacted dirt, and it just made a muddy mess, nothing like the clay trick. Sometimes the simple fixes only work if you're using the right stuff, I guess.

Actually used to think all soil worked the same way, but your clay story makes total sense now.
