Ruth, when I first started growing potatoes I also had very clay soil (in the first few years in KY) red as could be. Of course with amendments the soil got better each year but I did concentrate amendments (compost, sand) in the rows I wanted to grow potatoes and onions in. Seemed to help in a big way and didn't cost a fortune in material or effort. I never did store potatoes, just ate them as "new" out of the garden.
