Used leaf compost, washed river sand in fall, adding promix compost to beds with ground cotton and soybean meal to beds. Adding taller 12"-16" to downhill sides of 4' x 45' beds to retain amends (monsoon season down here) . Used old composted cotton seed hulls years ago and was great to break up the clay, but quit due to fears what chemicals are in there. Using a heavy hay mulch this year, and will be working it in when it breaks down . Had hay on top of a couple of Hugelkultur beds last year that did great and the soil is really great there now.
