    I live in a new subdivision and everything deeper than the sod is solid fill clay. Anybody know of a good place to order safe soil amendments/nightcrawlers to fix it up where I'm planting beds?

    aint nothing gonna eat that up.

    the only way to remedy that situation is to dig up the yard and grind the clay up to the depth you can live with then add loam, sand or other organics when putting it all back.

    now i dont think you are willing to do that. so the easiest way to go is to add more topsoil so the clay is farther away.
