I'm just outside Memphis which is clay and mine is down right - THE PITS! *see pic*
For many years nothing has been in our back yard except dirt & leaves which I have raked most of them up so we could actually walk. -Seriously. I did leave a decent pile to the side to possibly use.

I'm planning/hoping on a hosta garden in a decent size section - 48 feet long x 13'7" wide. But I know dirt is going to be an issue so I need to do first things first - fix the soil. Any advice?
