[QUOTE="Exfarmer, post: 7793472, member: 1951"] Where we farmed in Buckinghamshire, the farm had been once a Victorian model farm. Sadly in the intervening years the whole drainage system been allowed to decay with no ditching having been done for at least half a century. . However when these were cleaned most of the drains started running freely . We did have perhaps 50 acres they were in such bad state and with no knowledge of the old scheme gradually work our way across the farm. It was nearly all done by hand , with a digger as very frequently we would start near a wet spot and very quickly pick up the old drains which were still running mostly clay tile but also earlier stone drains using the local limestone with two stones on edge supporting a small slab across the top, nothing under [/QUOTE]
