We have been trying to successfully grow a garden for literally years. One thing after another came up. First we tried to deal with our extremely heavy clay soil, and after a few years we tried a Pallet Garden. The basic idea is to fill some wooden pallets with good soil, and by-pass the poor soil you have now. Bingo! You should have a much better harvest than you have had in years past with the terrible soil that you have tried to grow in previously! Let me tell you, that year our garden stunk. All my plants grew long, and scraggly, and we got pretty much nothing. But we did spend a lot in water to keep all our poor pitiful plants alive! The problem was that our plants could not penetrate though to the soil underneath boards, and thus, had only a few inches of topsoil to grow in. Needless to say, the next year we went back to our clay soil, and got our regular so-so harvest.
