Blocked field ditches
« on: February 09, 2013, 04:14:58 pm »
HI :wave:   I am hoping someone can offer us some advice on how to manually clear clogged field ditches.  Getting machinery to the area would prove very difficult so I am looking for any advice you can offer on the best way to manually clear all the mud and debris that have built up due to the lovely weather we have had recently   :fc:

Speak to your local drainage board and they might :fc:  do it for you. We pay about a tenner a year to the Wiske Drainage board and they do ours, helps that one of our neighbours is on the drainage board :innocent:
Other than that you're talking JCB with a ditching bucket!
