I already have a decent veg patch, but I inherited it with the house and the soil was in decent condition - I just add more compost each year, dig lightly and let the worms do most of the work.
I want to expand and start a couple of new ones, but digging up some of the lawn. However, we're on heavy clay and I'm worried that it will take lots of back breaking work and years of soil improvement to make the patch manageable. I have time to give it, but am not good at hard physical work.
What would be the best way to go about it?
