Thought this tip may be useful to any water-logged gardeners. I dug a great big pit in a boggy area, (Very messy). and got two washing machine drums, and cut the bottom out of one, then wired them together so they made a single deep drum. I placed this in the soggy pit so the top was level with the soil, and filled in the hole around them with as much rubble as I could find, (Plenty). The last touch was to cover the top of the drum with a nice old stone flag I had found that had a drain hole in the middle. The drums filled with water, and when I get round to it I will fit a village pump so I have a well.
