About a foot and a half deep should be good, but the wider the area you can do, the better. Here in Hawaii we also have clay soil that needs amended for most of the things people like to grow. If the soil is hard packed clay, the roots have a hard time penetrating. Like I said, if all you do is amend the hole, the roots will generally stay just in that area. Try it out with a plant you aren't that worried about, and see if it doesn't do just what I said.
