Thanks Malcolm, a soil test must be necessary, I will get what I can from the plot in what's left of this year, It's not so hopeless I'm going to abandon it yet, even a dose of growmore has had an effect I reckon.
The actual soil structure is I think not bad even though not far down is London clay. Another mistake I have made is to set it out in such a way as to make it unavoidable that I have to walk on it to do work, next time I will put boards in and walkways so as to avoid compacting the soil.
