g'day tony,

i would lay a mass of gypsum down and rake it in then give it a good
water, then put some more manure or organic matter then mulch it with
spoilt hay. or it might be simpler to just put an edge around it and
convert it to a raised bed, see my page for building a garden and also
a link to ausgarden blog for my latest project.

I'll second that suggestion.


Gypsum is good. Lime works too, although it takes longer, and a lot
less expensive. If you go the lime route, test your soil first. It
is probably acidic and in that case the lime will help. Working
compost into the soil will do wonders for clay soil too. If given the
choice of sandy soil and clay soil, I'd take the clay soil--at least
it has more nutrients in it than sandy soil.
