Couple months old and clay soil? Suggest you use double dig bed method and put manure on bottom layer as well as stir some in top- this will mean a 4 inch layer of partially aged manure a foot deep, then 6 inchs of losened soil from top dig layer, then another 2 inch layer of manure, then final layer of soil taken from 6 inchs down with some manure/compost mixed together. This will give you some happy worms and loosened soil next year while haveing a relatively enriched and loosened soil this year for deep root crops like corn, tomatoes, peppers that will reach the first from top manure layer by mid season.

Hugelkulture is German term for similar 'bury rough material deep in clay soils' garden beds or Bavarian beds. RN
