i wonder if those roots are all the way through the garbage cans and into the ground yet?
if its possible, you should try to lift the cans off the ground leaving the dirt mound behind at the end of the year so we can see the root mass. bet its gonna be huge.
you are fuckin set, don't mess this up and you are golden. take ur wife to a tropical beach somewhere after this

Well boys the swamp has arrived...
Rained like hell the past couple days. Some of this should drain off im hoping. Ill be checking em a couple times a day. Not sure how much soil they need above the water line. 3 Feet is what i heard but who knows...
Comes down to it ill take some cinder blocks out there and raise the cans. Talk about a fcked up walk out there. There are still some high spots here and there too. Went from ankle deep to knee deep and back to ankle deep. You could hear stuff crawling around out there. Hate to do it but the shotgun is going next time..
The start of the trail and where i remembered i didnt bring my machette
First step in
This shit was dry 2 days ago...well kinda dry. Thinking about putting black trashbags over the buckets to keep that soil nice and dry...thoughts on that guys?
Back shot of the 3 lined up, you guys havent seen this shot before...
No signs of them not loving it yet...

I wouldn’t worry too much about water level. After rain/flooding on mature plants I have it where I dig down two inches and hit the water line and the plants do fine for several days before water level drops. I can’t say that for smaller plants but the size you have will do fine.
I don’t exactly know why but I think it has to do with the amount of vegetation on the larger plants they can get more of the needed O2 from the air. Just a guess.
I am sure saturated soil brings on other things like disease and mold but during veg period my large plants do fine with wet feet for a week or more.
"All parts of the plant respire, the leaves, the stem, the roots and even the flowers. The parts above the soil get their oxygen directly from the air through pores. The pores in the leaves are called stomata (singular: stoma). The pores in the branches of trees are called lenticels.
The roots of a plant also need oxygen which they obtain from the air spaces in the soil. If you give too much water to a plant in a pot you could kill the roots by drowning them! Plants, such as rice, which normally grow in wet soil often have air spaces in their roots. This is so that they can carry air from the atmosphere down to the root tips to be able to respire under water."
