    Should i move this tree...

    Thanks andy, i did think of something similar, but to dig this hole i basically had to hammer and chisel, it's really that bad, because i had to dig down originally to create the tier. I may dig a trench and try to drain it from one side, hopefully this will work. Thanks for the help, much...
