Question
i can u pls help me my garden is very water logged it is a big garden what can do to get it right thx  

Answer
you should have done a raised garden by mounding the dirt you were going to plant on. next year try doing it or start all over now. check w/a local garden center/nursery to get advice on raised gardens. you could also try to improve the drainage in the area(if possible) by digging ditches to divert the water away from your garden area. a dry well sometimes helps in areas where the water can't go anywhere else. dig a hole(or holes) 3-4' deep and 12" or bigger wide. line it w/a geotextile and put 1"-4" stone into the hole. cover the top w/the geotextile and 6" of top soil. this will give the water someway to perk down into the subsoil.
good luck
