Alright, John Elliot! Thank you for restoring some confidence to a rookie farmer....
The soil doesn't seem to be heavily compacted and should respond well to your suggestions. Not a lot of dandelions and wild garlic. I was thinking I would get some manure on it and work that in while loosening the big chunks and then layer some newspaper, litter, and straw.
We had a couple of hugelbeds at our old place in So. California that produced really well for us. We will definitely incorporate those into the new farm, it is indeed an ideal setup for those.

I made the colossal mistake of allowing my neighbor to drive his tractor cultivator over an acre of my land. It has been ripped up thoroughly. After beating myself up over what I had done, I am resolved to repair and prepare this area for planting vegetables this spring. I am in the southeast, the soil is red clay and was covered with grass and weeds, it hasn't been planted in a few years from what I gathered from the previous owner. I have access to fresh and old manure, straw, grass clippings, leaves, pine straw, newspapers, etc. The land is shaped like an amphitheater with a total of three levels gently sloping towards the "stage." Anybody have a recipe that will get some good yields?
