| I dug a hole 2 feet deep in a place where a tree had been removed and the stump ground. The idea was to fill this hole with garden soil and compost and plant tomatoes. There is about 4 inches of ground water in the bottom of the hole. Is this OK? |

| if it's 2 ft from the surface, as long as you dont put something in the hole that is going to wick that ground water higher up into your rootzone and keep your roots wet all the time it would probably work. |

| You're ok as long as the area has good drainage. Otherwise they could drown if the water table rises. Been there done that. |
