The difference a $5 bag of lime made to my clay soil in two months
My peppers went from stunted and yellow to knee-high and dark green after I finally tested the pH and it was 5.2. Anyone else in the Midwest have a go-to fix for acidic dirt?

My friend's garden was a total mess until she tried @kim.zara's compost trick, which worked wonders on that heavy clay.

Honestly, I've had the opposite experience with lime. It made my clay soil way too clumpy and hard to work with. I found that adding a lot of compost over time worked better for me, even if it was slower. It fixed the pH a bit but also helped the soil texture so my plants could actually use the nutrients. That clay just turns into concrete sometimes.
