Gypsum does work but it is not instant. I prepare a new area I want to plant with lots of gypsum six months before I want to plant it up. Then at 3 months before I dig it again and add really rich good compost. Finally when it comes time to plant I did it again and then plant. My garden gets lots of positive comments. Do no buy "doctored" gypsum where sand has been added. You can tell later if it has had sand added as the gypsum and the sand join together to make hard unusable lumps. The gypsum you buy should be 99 per cent all gypsum.
