After we tilled some of our soil we got a very heavy rain and it turned the soil into a kind of muddy quicksand. After a few days of sun the top dried to a hard cracked cake but it was still like muck under the surface. And if you walked on it you would sink up to your ankles in mud.
We did some research on ways to help remedy this and found that adding compost and sand is some of the best things you can till in to a clay soil. We got a 60% Compost 40% sandy loam soil mix to add to the soil. We put on about 3 inches and will till it into the soil.
Hopefully that will help with general soil structure. We may put more on if it still has no structure.
Will let you know.
