Growing In a swamp.

Ah as I mentioned Before.But I just also thought of this place.It's Off A rail road tracks deep down into good amount of woods.But the swamp is clear.I heard People Say the Best Place to grow Outside Is IN a Swamp.The One I looked at today.the ground is awlays damp but not wet to drown the seeds.What do you guys think?my outside plants could Get as tall of A tree and still not be seen.but yet once you get on the swamp part.it's Just OPen sky above it so it would get enough sun and water.but the trees don't block the sun which is cool.they Only would only Block My plants Being seen.Do you think that would be a good growing spot.

no it wont work

Yes it will. Do it.

Right now! What are you waiting for?

Seriously, the wet soil is not a good sign. Is that just spring highwater? You might want to get a topographical map of the area. I usually observe new swamp sites for an entire summer before planting them the following year. Gives you a good read on what the water table is over the course of the season.

The soil could still be waterlogged from the winter when it accumulates precipitation and may seem rather spongy which is normal for wetland areas but be careful of areas prone to flooding, the surrounding vegetation should give you clue, wetlands are excellent areas to grow in, you just have to choose the right spot, check and till the soil to see if it has been previously submersed in order to understand if your proposed sight is indeed in a low lying area, the outlying flora should help you determine the higher areas, wetlands provide the best cover so keep your spot, you just need to condition it and make sure that your current choice isn't too soggy, mosquitos are a bitch though!

Im in Louisiana and part of my property is swamp. I went to walmart and bought 18 gallon totes for 8 buckes a piece and am using those for pots. I think this is going to be ideal since they will still be portable. We have a hell of a rainy/hurricane season so it will be good to get them outta the rain all the time to hopefully help avoid mold issues. For flowering Im going to move them into my barn where part of its air conditioned and I can use a dehumidifier.
