Question
I am looking for something that will grow in a soggy spot....there is on low spot on the side of our property by the wood line that stays soggy and you can mow it because the lawn mower will get stuck and i dont like weed eating it either and i though if i could find something that i could plant there that would live that would eliminate the wet ugly spot that grows up on the side of the yard that i have to weed eat....any suggestions would be deeply appreciated.
