Country Natural Composted Stable Manure is excellent for soil improving and mulching, whilst feeding the soil at the same time. It is easy to use either by digging in, or mulching on the top and leaving for the worms to take into the soil. It is ideal for breaking up compacted clay soil or improving the structure of fine, sandy soil, leaving you with a nutritious planting medium, in which plants will flourish and thrive to produce a beautiful garden. Clay particles are amazingly dominant in a soil. This is explained by the relative size of the different particles (clay, sand and silt) that soil contains. Clay particles are very small but, because this allows more particles to fit in any given space (say 1cm cubed), they have huge surface area that dominates the physical properties of soil. In comparison, sand and silt particles are larger, so fewer particles are needed to fill a space (say 1cm cubed again). As a result, the overall surface area of sand and silt is smaller and so much less influential on determining the characteristics of a soil than the clay particles.

All these remedies will take some time to achieve full effect and you may find it most expedient to confine initial efforts to the top few inches or to the actual planting and sowing rows, then in time the improvement will spread into the lower levels. Many plants such as the major salad crops would not benefit from cultivation beyond about the top 4 inches. Have you considered growbags for the initial stages, when exhausted the contents form a valuable resource for soil omprovement and the cost is similar to bags of compost.

It is very similar to John Innes Base Fertiliser and akin to blood fish and bone. I cannot see its relevance to clay soil and its problems. Clay is noted for its ability to retain nutrients which are released more readily once the platelets are seperated and a crumb structure obtained which can be achieved in a combination of several ways such as bulky manure, sharp gritty sand, winter weathering (temporary) or liming if the pH is low. There are proprietary clay busters. If the Vitax that you mention is indeed one of these then follow the instructions.
