Basically you dig your plant hole. In a corner of the plant hole you dig a sump,hole, with a post hole digger.Install a piece of perforated drain pipe with filter sock.Leave the pipe 4" above soil level.Any excess water in the planting pit will flow into the sump.The pipe allows air in which helps dry up the water.You can also use a hand pump to pump out the sump. If you are lucky and have gotten deep enough to good soil the water will drain on it's own.
