The gardening book I have suggests adding gypsum to improve heavy clay
soils.  The name of the book is (I think) Vegetable Gardening for
Southern Gardens.  I don't have it handy and can't remember the
publisher or author.  I'm trying this on our wonderful Houston gumbo
this year.  I bought a bag of powdered gypsum as a garden store, but I
suspect old wallboard would work ok if it was crushed some.
