Soil Question Musa Basjoo??

Hello,

I am planning to plant my hardy tropicals (Musa Basjoo, Windmill Palms and Elephant Ears) in the ground this year and have questions about the soil requirements. I understand that these plants need a rich well-drained soil. The problem I have is I have heavy clay soil and am concerned with the drainage. I have been researching different soil amendments, such as adding sand and compost. I have also stumbled upon the idea of replacing the soil.

In you opinion, what should I do? How deep would I need to amend or replace the soil? I have a small 12x5 planting space. Please feel free to add any other suggestions.

Thanks,

Dan
