yes, we have land that is moss on top of clay which would benefit from
the drainage improving. Less than 100 yards way the land is free
draining doesn't need anything, go another 300 yards to our next door
neighbours and the soil is so light that if you plough it and it dries
out, it blows. That could do with another two or three more generations
of lifestock manure.
