Steve,
Get out the jack hammer and get some of that rock hard clay and put it into a bucket of water and see how rock hard it really is (isn't). Once the the hole is down to tthat virgin soil, there is now a path for moisture to follow (outside of the liner) and what was once "raock had" becomes "mus."
