Austin,
The soil before I prepped the bed was fairly decent mix with quite a bit of clay. After I turn a bed to about 12", I add what is called "landscape mix". Turn it under and top dress with a good 4" or so of landscape mix. The landscape mix is a combination of pine fines, mushroom compost, sand, perlite, trace elements. I buy it from a fertilizer company that is about 1/4 mile from my house. They sell this, as well as mulches, ferts, sand, gravel. It sure makes it nice to be able to run over and grab a scoop or stop by on the way home from work....
