Greetings..

I am very new to gardening and to be precise I have not long moved to a
house with a garden. I have noticed that during the Autumn and Winter when
it rains, and boy does it rain, there is one area of lawn and flower bed
that gets really boggy and water logged.

Please can anyone tell me the best way to get rid of this boggy area?

Thanks in advance.

Hi

We're in the same situation as we've only just moved into a house with
a garden this year so much of this is new to me. Friends had a
similar problem to you, they created drainage by digging a hole and a
trench, and installing a drain under the soil, connected to drainpipe
running at an incline (again under the soil) and emptying out into a
stream at the end of their garden. It seemed to work well for them.
