I live on a natural hill, or so I thought, until I started digging and hit rock less than six inches in. Between natural rock, discarded bricks, tiles and plastic, I am in hell.

Lavender grows great in terrible soil if you just want some pretty flowers.
I live in Scotland and the soil is majority clay ;_;
Gonna buy some grit and sand and stuff and try my best.
Trying to modify soil texture is generally impractical. You'd be adding a lot more sand than you'd expect to get marginal improvements.
Your best bet is to add organic material, which will have a dramatic effect and improve your soil structure in the long run
I have done this too, although I am told Jasmine will kind of wilt (not the right word) if there is too much nitrogen in the soil. That sounds good though, thanks for the tip.
