Not quite. As I mentioned, there are quite a few trees and shrubs
that laugh at a couple of weeks under water, though I can't promise
that they will be happy TOTALLY submerged (i.e. while they are very
small). But I agree that moving earth around is a bad idea, as the
water will have its own ideas :-)
