So the plot of land I leased used to be a bunch of cat tails. I had about 100x100 feet brush hogged away. The soil is very damp, about 100 yards from a lake. If I stick a post 2 feet down, a little of the bottom gets filled with water.
I'm getting 30 gallon pots and making my own soil, but my plan was to cut the bottoms out of those pots so that my soil will meet that wetter soil on the bottom
My question is, even if I keep good aerated soil raised above the damp semi-marshy soil... once the roots grow past the aerated pot soil and into that marshy stuff, am I risking root rot running all the way up the root system? Or will it actually be beneficial as I won't have to water as much?
