I doubt clay will accomplish much.. It turns to mud when wet, doesn't drain, and hard for roots to expand. If you can't find a better soil area I'd mix some sand into the clay, it should help drainage a little
Good luck :)

There's not much point in giving him advice on how to prepare the soil, because he already planted. Some will probably sprout, but from what he's describing the soil is pretty poor. I wouldn't expect much out of it, but you never know.
