I also have a heavy clay soil, all you can do is keep adding as much compost, leaf mould anything you can lay your hands on, I use spent compost from tubs and pots that I have grown my summer bedding in, dig in a much as possible, It will improve the condition of the soil, its an ongoing job really. Weeds will like the sandy soil its easy for germination and young roots to get down into, more work I'm afraid, keep hoeing.
