I am developing a 3 care tract of land which was formerly a commercially farmed field. I have very compact clay soil with sand beneath and a high water table. I want to add wood chips as organic matter to improve the soil as I have access to free wood chips. Are there any plants that should not be grown in former hardwood wood chips soil?

Do you mean soil where the wood chips have already decomposed?
