Hi I'm in a new build property the garden now and then gets waterlogged but that's being sorted out with drains and rotavation,the garden is heavy clay, i got a windmill that's needs planting and not sure what soil to plant it in, I got told putting grit in bottom of the planting hole acts as a soakaway and is not good for the palm. So please tell me what to plant it in and what to buy thanks.

I'm in Oregon and the windmills love clay soil, waterlogged isn't an issue.  The ones I have in fast draining sandy type soil don't look nearly as good.

I would amend with some nice compost for added nutrients, but that's about it.
