How do I make a rain garden?

by Dedra Thomas

Answered

I have a corner of my property that almost always has standing water, and is at least soggy. I'd like to make a garden back there that will absorb some of that water. Weeping willows are out because of intersecting property lines and electrical wires. Any ideas?

Depending on where you live, planting a willow tree out there will suck up LOTS of water!

Willow tree isn't an option because of the property lines and the electrical wires.
