Certain parts of the world have different types of dirt. In an environment like the US southeast, clay is the dominant type of dirt and difficult to grow decent gardens in. You need mulch-organic, non organic, whatever. You can make your own with a composter, using grass clippings, kitchen waste, etc. Some municipalities that gather all the leaves from the public, will compost it and offer the compost free to its residents. If not, just buy a good garden mulch and mix it into your dirt. It will also retard weeds.

Organic mulch, compost, etc. I also throw all my vegetable scraps in the ground.

It was surely clay last year too, since clay is the end result of slow chemical weathering of rock. Don't dig in unfinished organic matter in the spring, add manure and stuff like that in the fall or winter. In the spring, clay soil will benefit from digging in finished compost, sand, perlite, or vermiculite. An organic mulch layer on top the soil will also add humus to the soil.

Mine is clay. I add Peat Moss to mine. Makes a big difference. Sand works well too, but I wouldn't put it close to the base of the house because of ants.

Clay is not great for any garden. If you have heavy clay soil, you can buy a chemical that breaks up the clay. But the best way is to dig it up. Add peat moss to the soil to give it a bit of fiber. You can mix in lighter soil and I have even added saw dust but that brings up the acidity of the soil. If your not going to plant vegetables and delicate flowers.. you can use the saw dust but it take a couple of years to break down.. then it can be a rich soil. Mixing in Compost is another way but it will take time to break down into soil also. Sand will have no nutrients in it but is ok for succulents. If you get manure from a farmer that has hay and bedding mixed into the manure.. you can put it on in the fall. Till it under in the spring and it will loosen the soil, break down enough by spring and will enrich the soil with nutrients for planting.
