Raised beds is the way to go for clay soil.

Sheez, are you so rich now that you can buy soil, rather than grow it?

Libraries, that word sounds familiar. Do they exist anymore? With all those
government cutbacks these days. Still a good book.

I am financially dirt poor. However, I guess I can count myself lucky that
I can get a pickup load of compost for free every Saturday from the local
recycler. He has good stuff I had it tested from the state, cost $20. I
have my compost piles as well for improving the soil.

However, gardening is not like rocket science. Anyone with half a brain and
a strong back can compost.
