no, we're on solid clay, there are piccies somewhere of our plot, it was a swamp last year, have just got home, we dug three spades deep, 15' of a 28'length, put ash in the bottom, drainage pipe on it and covered it with more ash, ready for top soil then raised beds on top, it was threatening to flood our fruit trees and hazel bush so it had to be done, thank goodness it stayed dry today, will carry on tomorrow, both too stiff to move now, but feel okay about lolling around now :D
