I have heavy clay soil with several soggy areas and am looking for an
inexpensive way to eliminate or reduce them.

If you have a good sand layer under the clay, maybe some well points and a
pump.

Or you could dig a deep "post" hole, and insert a length of perforated drain
pipe wrapped with landscape cloth and install a small sump pump.

Either way, you might end up with lots of watering water.
