Default Improve dry soil?

"Duncan Tuna" wrote in message

Our backyard garden has bad dirt. It's amazing how it can
rain,
yet 24 hours later, the soil is dry and cracked.

I'm thinking of renting a tiller this spring and improve the
soil. What should I mix in to improve the soil? Peat? Peat
moss? Compost? Something else?

Thanks!


Add all the organic matter you can afford.
