Well thats it  >:(i'm trading in the rotovator for a water buffalo, the rain has got the lottie looking like a lake, the ducks are happy though lying on their backs spraying water out of their bills :-/ . I've tried draining it with land drains but with it being on a bank i get all the water from the top sites running into mine ??? :-/ and it is now washing the soil away, i've only got 12" left then i hit clay. I put plenty of organic stuff in it, also top soil, raised the beds etc but it makes no difference. Ah well just have to keep plugging on i suppose ;) as i really enjoy gardening (mad or what).
