Default prep of bed for herbs.

g'day tim,

all we did for our herb bed on clay soil was to spread a heap of
gypsum lay fairly thick newspaper and then pile up some clay dirt we
had left over from some light excavating, we added gypsum along the
way, topped it with mushroom compost and then mulched heavily with
sugar cane mulch but you could use and sort of hay or straw.

the herbs are loving it.

there is a stay pic' or 2 on our straw bale garden page.
