Nothing does well really in heavy clay soil. You need to dig a huge hole the size of at least a 30 gallon pot, take away the clay and dirt and fill the hole with very rich garden soil. If you cannot afford to buy bags of soil, find someone who has horses.
Fill the hole with horse manure, push it in firmly and let it compost. Plant your tree.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
