Philip, Ignore the fact I know exactly 0 about garden rail. But I have lived in areas where the clay would bake in the summer and we would loose baseballs down the dang cracks. You, need to figure a raised (1' or so min) garden of some kind for this. After you establish what your outside edge is. I'd bring in a load of DG (decomposed granite). Get it into as much of the cracks as I could as a levelling course. Then lay out a couple of layers of visquene (special construction grade plastic sheeting used as a water/moisture barrier under house slabs.) On top of that lay out some french drain. (PVC Pipe with wholes in the underside to allow water to enter and drain away). Then cover with DG. Then if doing actual garden work, layer of top soil. Other wise the DG, would, I expect, make a great base for an Outdoor Model Railroad. The DG will let the water drain, and the french drain will allow you go pull the water off. The visquene will keep the clay from getting water. Not a cheep solution, but will work.
