I have severe drainage problems on my land, it is restored opencast and its restoration was obviously boched as water just sits on the top, apparently the clay sub surface should have been rough ploughed before the topsoil was laid and this was not done. I have tried various drainage systems but the problem is getting the water to actually drain into the ditches it just sits there laughing at me! current thinking is to have a number of small ponds where it can drain into, but given the uneven nature of the terrain its working out where to put them, just grousing aloud, though any suggestions would be gratefully recieved,
