Thanks for the response. Since my property is on a corner, I want to make it
attractive attactive, good for the neighborhood. So I think I will build a
mound for my plants during the summer. Can I use a compost and the
earthworms as the bottom layer and use a mound of dirt on top of that? As
you probably surmised, I'm completely new at this.

Thanks for all the help.

1. Top dress with compost or leaves. Let the earthworms break up and
enrich the clay. This will be the layer touching the clay.

Lay an inch or so of OM on top. This will lure the earthworms up through
the clay, tilling it in the process. Given a season, you'd notice an
improvement just from mulching, no other work.
