Black silt in drainage ditch
Our allotment has no piped water, but plenty of water running in ditches on
the sloping site. These never run dry as we are on a natural wetland with a clay subsoil. However the sunken baths used to store water regularly silt up with a fine almost black substance. This is removed from the baths and piles at the sides. After drying out it forms a fine (almost powder) soil. Does anyone know what it might be.
