Hi,

My garden is mostly dead for the season.  I live in extreme northeastern 
North Carolina, the soil where my garden is, is mostly white heavy clay.  
I planted in mid May, it was too wet prior to that.  My tomatoes, 
peppers, and eggplant died of heat stroke in June.  The cucmbers, 
squash, and melons are still doing great.  After each rain storm it 
would be too wet to walk in, then dry out to be "harder than a brick".  
My idea is to compost "in place" in preparation for next season.  My 
question is, should I roto-till in straw and manure, or are there other 
materails which are cheap and plentiful which would be better to use.

Ron
