Sabrina, when I lived in Georgia we had red clay that was dense and sticky. Very, very dense and sticky enough that my tennis shoes would become platform shoes when I was through in the garden. That clay stuck to everything!!! Anyway, the only thing that would stay in the clay and keep it from packing down was perlite. Don't know if you have that there. In the states, it's cheap and very available. It has no fertilizer value but lasted in the soil for more than 5 years.
