How well would it grow in this area?

An area that was recently flooded which resulted in a lack of vegetation. High amount of tree cover from light which just lets a breathable amount of light through the canopy. High in skeeters, and hard access.

first of all, fuck mosquitos. lots to consider here. my first question is, what are the chances it will get flooded again? that could make or break it

I'll risk the flood, because in the place I want to go it's pretty convenient because it has segregated a portion of land in the area that nobody would ever go

Poor sun exposure, no cover and in a flood prone area? Sounds like an ideal location.

, and I was more curious about how the insect population would affect the grow, and how the sun being dimmer affects it

Sun, sun , sun. A sunny spot is very important.

you can't overdo the sun, although you sure can underdo it

"An area that was recently flooded which resulted in a lack of vegetation.">>>

>>>Poor soil in need of serious amending plus lack of sunlight=lots of work for little return.

I'd look somewhere else.

I wouldn't call the soil poor. I would actually think the area is kind of good because all of the space for growth. It looks like all the small plants got flooded away, so I figure there's more space for weed.

To understand where and how to grow good plants, one must first understand native soils.

Once you have identified your soil type, then you can condition it for optimal growing.
