Sounds to me like you're going about it just the right way. You can use newspaper too. If you have not-quite finished compost, that's great instead of the mulch, or dried grass clippings. I'm not knowledgeable about clay soils, here in Jersey the soil's not too bad. Vermiculite sounds like it would work, in a raised bed, I'm guessing?
