Picked between raised beds and digging right into the clay, and the clay won

I was set on cedar boxes until I priced them at $60 each here in Raleigh, so I dug two 3x8 plots straight into the ground back in April and mixed in 6 bags of compost. The tomatoes are chest high now but the squash is sulking in that heavy dirt, so has anyone had luck loosening clay without hauling in a truckload of sand?
