I am on heavy clay here and can grow most things but I do condition the soil by digging lots of compost in to make it easier to dig.

Sure she'll let me use it too.... We're on clay and have the same problem with seedlings. I seem to have a problem with most 'rooty' things - carrots, radishes and beetroot. They just don't get that big! For peas and beans though, v good! Lots of humus is a must though.
