I am shortly moving into a newish house (7 yrs) old. The rear garden is
very boggy, the grass is sparce and quite muddy do to it being wet.
It's in need of drainage but how do I go about doing this? I am no
gardener and dont wat to dig it all up and put drainage in so can anyone
suggest a solution?

Everywhere is like that this year (and last) so is it really a constant
problem or just the last couple of very wet years?

Bob I read your comments about 'everywhere' and thought, ours isn't wet or
boggy, even though we have had our fair share of rain as well.

Then I realised why, and Samantha might like to take note of some pictures I
have just taken.

Everything grows in 'raised' beds, not as in Sleepers etc, but all beds and
the lawn is raised with the lowest parts being gravel paths

We are also on very old and well worked soil. We had veg in the garden when
we first came in.

Hope that helps Samantha

Mike
