marsh/bog and other grow

[TYStonerTY]

Just behind my house there is a big forest with tons of trees where i was thinkin of growing weed. I went in there and dug up some soil. right now its really wet but in the next little while it should dry out a bit. the soil is totally black, its really good soil. there will be adequate water, soil, air, nutrients, and there should be at least 5 hours of light per day. my question is has anyone ever grown in a somewhat boggy area? in the summer the soil stays moist all the time, but do you think it will rot the roots? I plan to grow maybe 3 plants in there. any response is cool,
thanks

hmm. if the soil is contstantly wet they can't get air through the roots, and yeah, you're right, they will rot. so i mean if its soaked, dont do it. but a little damp might be ok. I have a marsh behind my house too, i was thinking about doing the same thing.

You can't plant directly in the swamp. But you could plant on a raised surface in the bog. Say on a huge tree stump that sticks out of the water. (Obviously you would plant in buckets) Don't forget to evalute the risk of changing water levels tho.
