I was expecting the soil to be damp - but it is just flat wet - with standing water clear to the eye.

Do the plants like having their feet so wet?

Am I doing it ok? Anything else I should be aware of?


It depends on what plants you used. There are some that'll handle being in water over a foot deep. What plants did you put on the island?
