: We tilled it two weeks ago and the soil has alot of : roots in it and seems to contain clay because it : clumps and doesn't fall apart easily.
: The area of the garden is @ 12 X 60.

The cheapest is going to be yard waste (leaves grass clippings), with a close second of manure from a the local horse boarding stable--all of the above tilled in.

Repeat with as much yard waste as you can collect as a mulch.

Clay loam aint a bed thing.
