Raised beds, yada yada. It's being amended for several years now with

clippings in vast quantities, and seasonal application of aged manure,
sand and sand and sand.


This approach worked wonders on my clay soil. You should be able to
incorporate it in to the soil for a couple of years and then go no-till.
Very odd.
