Question: “live in Texas. It seems like nothing I try works. Any suggestions? I would also like to hear anything organic?”
Suggestions:
acidify the soil with vinegar… However, be careful not to get it too close to the plants that you want to grow. lime is used to make the soil alkaline again. use a spray bottle to apply.
