Clay soil can hold water a long time, I agree with the person that suggested a raised bed for your naner. With the clay soil, don't dig a hole and add a bunch of amendments--you are making a pot without a drain hole. One exception to that--if you have a hill or slope so that you can dig a hole that water would run out--then you can mix organic matter with the clay and fill the hole--that works real well.
