Here are some shots of the field where I am doing my gardening and golfing. You can see my nascent garlic patch with is sheet mulched with cardboard and manure. The manure more raw than I would like so it is heavy and hard to work with. I rototilled the ground twice and then put down the sheet mulch. Now I am planting garlic bulbs in rows using the posts and string as a guide. I scrape trenches under the string with a mattock and then fill the trenches with soil excavated by moles that I collect from the field. Molehills are great texture because they are worked through and fluffed by those little mole claws. Most people in this area have heavily clay soil because heavy rains leach minerals away, but we live in an historic river terrace and our soil is black gold.
