How to enhance my soil?

do the smart thing like i did and just make large raised beds.easier on the back and the wallet ;)

This will take a couple of years to do. Every year mulch/chop up your leaves and add them to the garden soil. Dig a trench at one end of the garden that is about a shovel blade width and depth. Fill this with the chopped up leaves. Dig another trench next to the first one and throw the dirt on top of the leaves, then fill this new trench with leaves. Continue doing this until the whole garden has a layer of leaves that are buried. Do this in the fall so the leaves have time to decompose over the winter. The finer the leaves are chopped the faster they decay. Do not use pine needles or walnut leaves, they leave chemicals in the soil that are not good for plants. Start a compost pile and next fall add the compost to the garden as you are doing the leaves. Peat moss can be dug in also. Stay away from chemical additives, they are toxic to worms. Worms in your garden is a sign of good, healthy soil. Worms live on the organic matter in the soil and add their own castings (poop) which is beneficial also. As worms eat their way through the soil they leave tunnels which helps to break up hard soils.

I'd caution you against tilling regularly, it will break down the soil integrity and eventually leave you with a garden that will not hold water. You want the soil to be rich, dark, and form large blocks or clumps when you spade it up. The blocks should not fall apart easily.

In the spring cover the garden with composted cow manure and spade it under and instead of pulling any weeds just turn them under also, this adds organic matter.

Lots of work involved here but the harvest will be worth it.

There's a spray, I think it's called liquid gold. It's a spray of fungus spores that grow as long fibrous fibers in your soil. It breaks up your soil and adds organic content.

Another method is to plant potatoes for a season and plow it under, then lay down a lawn. The potato plants dig up the soil and the potatoes add organic content.

The last thing you want to do is add sand, that would make it more like concrete.

i also have clay soil. ten years ago i started adding compost or miracle gro to the soil and every spring tilling the ground and adding more. in very little time i saw dramatic improvements. my soil is perfect now (except for areas where i didn't ammend it). never add sand or you'll be worse off then you are now.

Put in gypsum, compost, manure, mix in with soil, all three can be found at mills fleet farm, some garden shops.

till it up and mix potting soil topsoil and till it more better results with mirical grow
