This week, theres ploughing, a tractor, puddles, land drains, buckets and we stand in a ditch!

Whilst Paul and George get to complete the packing orders in the early part of the week, theres always much other projects to do.
Here in the edge of the fens as we are at sea level drainage is priority number one else puddles soon appear. Underground drainage where peaty soil elements vary drastically shorten drainage scheme life here.
As the peaty organic element shrinks at depth schemes over these organic soil strata’s land drains can actually run into the low areas instead of taking water away, reversing what they are trying to achieve!

Carn’t beat good land drainage. Costly item to install but long term pay back is worth it And yearly jetting helps

Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink 😜 we need a crack team of dredging engineers to sort out the water issue of blocked, silted to the hilt dykes, ditches & river courses. No good to fix land drains if water doesn’t move anywhere 😅
