Hi all, I am new here and I have come in the hope of finding help with
my boggy garden.

Hello Dave,

Yes, probably a good idea to wait and see. My garden has been really
'soggy' this winter, too.

However, one thing I do experience all the time with new builds (as a
garden designer) is the dumping of rubble, old cement bags, broken
bricks and other builders' detritus in the garden. This is common
practice and drives me nuts. I have just moved into a converted chapel,
built in 1860, but the guys who did the conversion have ruined the
garden and I am spending ages getting all the rubbish out so I can grow
my veg etc. All this detritus will affect the drainage, of course. You
might want to do a little bit of digging to find out if this is your
problem. It wouldn't surprise me. But if it's not, then at least you can
eliminate this. I once had a customer whose lawn refused to grow
properly and they asked for my help. After half an hour's investigative
probing it transpired that there was a concrete patio six inches
underneath it!
