Starting my first garden and i need help with red clay?

I am just starting up my own garden. I use to have a garden with my dad when i was younger but i really don't remember much. I live in Alabama and the ground is made up of this hard red clay. I have talked to a bunch of different people in this area and they have basically stopped gardening vegetables because of how bad the clay is. I am gonna till the ground then mix sand into the ground and get a soil sample is there anything else i need to do?

Hi Michael:

I have 11 acres in northeast Texas that has the absolute worst red clay soil I have ever seen. We have tilled, added sand and peat moss. Finally we discovered the best thing to do was make raised bed gardens by placing landscaping fabric over the clay and ordering a truckload of topsoil/mulch.

Even when I plant a new tree or shrub I dig a hole, put top soil and manure in the bottom, fill with water and then put the tree in filling around the roots with the soil and mulch.

Best of luck...
