As per the AB chance Anchor application guide - Feb 2000.
For a class 8 soil ( Peat, organic silts; inundated silts, fly ash very loose
sands,
very soft to soft clays) - "It is advisable to install anchors deep enough,
by
the use of
extensions, to penetrate a class 5 or 6, underlying the class 7 or class 8
soils ).
please refer to the following document.

May be other experienced towertalkians can offer better advice.
