too much standing water want to plant the tree higher in the ground but need to know how much stone and how much sand to put down first in the hole then should I use just dirt to fill in the rest of the area..thanks
If you're going to put the tree back in the same place it can still get water logged since the roots will go deeper than you are planning to put rocks. I suggest you move it to another location. If you want some tips and how-to's from your own area, this website is great for forums on every topic and by regions. It's nice to connect with gardeners who are in the same climate zone, etc. http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/
