Try to get a look at a surface geology map of your area. You should
get an idea of the depth of your clay. If like us you've got several
metres of boulder clay, then you've probably got the makings of a bog
garden or pond.

I've been looking all over the net for such a map. Do you know where I
might find one?

Thanks for this. I don't think these maps will do it. Like most of the
maps I have found so far, they give lots of plan information but little
or no sectional information except for the big, deep layers of rock or
whatever. The top 10 metres or so doesn't rate a mention. And at approx
1in per mile, I would have difficulty pin-pointing my property in an
area which is right on the borders of adjoining clay, chalk, gravel and
Reading beds deposits.
