Well ill start with saying that i had my holes predug for this but i did not add the pro-mix at the time i dug them(yeah i know not so smart). Then i ran into a problem where i could no longer keep the plants in the house and had to bring them to my site. When i arrived at the site the hole were filled with water. Well the first thing i did was empty them as much as i could and added the promix. The consistency was a little wet but i thought it would dry up so i placed the plants in the ground. All the holes werent as wet as some others. The plant that i thought might be a problem dried out some and is looking fine when i showed up 3 days later. But another hole was the problem when i showed up and basicly slipped into the hole(2ftx2ft).



now the top of the hole doesnt look that bad and is much denser on the top. About 8" deep the hole it really watery and i think im gonna run into problems like drowing the plant or when it dries up it will sink deeper in the hole and i dont think that would be good. But on the bright side the plant dont actually look that bad.

It was just topped using uncle bens topping technique before going out.

So basicly what i want to ask is if anyone had a similar problem and how they fixed it? Or if anyone had any suggestions? Under the plant is so watery that i could scoop out water a little bit at a time and replace it with promix but im not sure if that is the best way to go. I also thought about either adding saw dust to the hole or as a toppdressing. But those are just guesses any help would be appreciated.
edit: a better look at the soup

water is getting to the hole somehow, no?how about digging a little drainage pit on the uphill side to divert surface water around the hole.
