The only way is dig the old stuff out, take it to the tip in rubble bags, and replace with good 'Border Soil' which is basically compost. It costs about £50 for a tonne bag or logarithmically more per kg for a smaller bag.

I've not looked back, best bit is you get a nicely draining garden you can use rather than a miserable sodden weed infested clay pit.

Before I had a vasectomy, I allowed the wife to mow my garden. I'd not let her do it again...

You need to get a soil ph indicator kit first.

Strange for her to be so late and you to be so early.
