Darn clay

What is it with new build houses, I was told that top soil was put down , funny then that I spent all day yesterday trying to dig a area of my garden to put plants in and could only find clay and rubble. It was what I expected to find anyway to be honest as my garden had become waterlogged and a fair bit of the grass has died . Well after a crook back and 2 mammoth bags of compost I think iv improved the soil a little, I just hope its good enough as I didn't really have much choice but plant my growing collection of plants as they were starting to suffer sitting in pots. Fingers crossed they survive.
