Hello, We have a piece of property that has some flood plain on it, on a creek. The part of the property that isn't in the flood plain is very wet in early spring, so much so, you can't even drive into it, you would sink into the mud. The land was farmed previously and looks like it was just brush hogged for the past few years. It has a lot of Autumn olive growing on it, wild black berries poison ivy, grasses and St. John's Wort. We are planning the garden and would like to put some fruit trees in and I am worried about it being too wet. Should I try to dry out a small area somehow or improve drainage? Any ideas?
