soil improver

My soil is not too bad,it is clay,but is quite good condition,would like to
improve it even more,what can I spread on the top please?

 

Or if digging in is not an option (perhaps because you already have established plants in), then provided the clay is loose enough to drain well, I'd just add the rotted manure to the surface in between the plants, and let the earthworms drag it under. That will help it to retain moisture as well, as it will keep the sun off the clay.

 

Leaf mould: Collect leaves in autumn, stack them seperate from your other compost, water them, leave for 2 years...add to your clay soil as a mulch. You can also top your soil with grass clippings or compost.

Thank you for your help,but where do I get rotted manure from,I am 78,so

Dunno anything about these people, but I have seen them recommended by others (they deliver to the South East):
