cloddy
Like unbroken soil
Cloddy describes soil or earth that forms into clods—compact lumps that resist breaking apart.
Gardeners and farmers use it for ground that hasn't been properly tilled: The soil was too cloddy to plant in.
By extension, cloddy can describe anything lumpy or chunite in texture.
