The valley bottom is one large bajada, the confluence of a multitude of alluvial fans which converge, having disgorged enormously thick layers of alluvium. What we find is the best way to amend our adobe is to add gypsum. OSH, Sear's hardware outlet in these parts, sells a product called "Soil Buster," which we find very effective. We use that together with mushroom compost, redwood compost and steer manure to amend our soil (plus, of course, our own home-made compost), to very good effect. I hope this suggestion works for you.
