I've used a lot of log roll this year in heavy clay - used fixing pins
(plastic coated steel, to which the roll is nailed or screwed) about
every metre - I've used it to edge a curved, sloping path. The pins are
quite long - about 3 times the height of the roll.

I dipped mine in preservative before using it. I chosen the slightly
wasteful
method of getting log roll twice the height I wanted projecting out of the
ground,
dug a small trench, and buried it nearly up to half its height. I then
tapped down
the roll a final inch or so to level all the logs, and fix it more securely
in its trench.
It works fine on clay soil.
