Hi all,
We have a field and at the top of the field (not technically in our field) is a spring. We've never had issues with it before but this year, perhaps due to all the rain, our field now has a river running through it-and it's pooling at the bottom, making a lovely bog.
At the moment, the grass is holding up, but despite there being no obvious pipe break/blockage, I fear that it is something more serious than 'just a lot of rain'-we've never, even in the wettest years, seen surface water before.
I don't have a digger, or any bloody idea where to start with it and tbh after a disasterous year with ragwort I'm feeling like I really need some professional help with managing/fixing the paddocks. But does this even exist? If you're not a farmer with a digger, if you're on your own and you don't know even what the problem is, let alone how to solve it, what do you do?
Answers appreciated.
