I am building a garden studio and have finished the blockwork upto ground level. The floor area has been dug out but is now very soggy due to rain :( .

Does anyone know if it is ok to put the hardcore down on this soggy ground and compact it or am i going to have to do some more digging

Also, is it ok to leave the compacted hardcore exposed over the winter or will the ground below become saturated?

Thanks in advance.

Dig a hole in the corner and pump out any water that fills there, or if your leaving it until next year then do nothing.
