Lot of land looks like its slumped as it did in 2012 again now.I suspect the ground has been pounded down so it can't soak in, combined with very high water level leads to a perfect storm

You know it's wet when folk from both Yorkshire and Northumberland are complaining it's wet.
The Avon down our way was dropping fast a couple of days ago and the mud flats across the meadows were emerging, but it has suddenly come right up again. It must all be coming down from Salisbury since the 2 forest streams that enter the river here are still low and I can cross them on foot.What I don’t understand is that it’s been dry ish for weeks and then one day of wet and everywhere ground is flooded across again.
Yes i have noticed the Avon has been running high for ages. The road across to Harbridge was flooded for a long time .The Avon down our way was dropping fast a couple of days ago and the mud flats across the meadows were emerging, but it has suddenly come right up again.

Get John Price to sort it.What I don’t understand is that it’s been dry ish for weeks and then one day of wet and everywhere ground is flooded across again.
It's been out for months. Our meadows end up smothered in chalky silt (probably Puntabrava's fields ) which is OK long term but sets the grass back for this season and lets the curled docks come up.Yes i have noticed the Avon has been running high for ages.

Yes , dont suppose it does a lot of good to be underwater for too long , not like "Drowning" when the water was allowed to flood the meadows and then released.It's been out for months.

Yes but there was no grass here till june 13Yeah we’ve had plenty of wet winters in the past,but not as prolonged.2012 was ridiculous,but it came dry Feb 2013 and then a good dry spell.Starting to disrupt things here now.
I agree there wasn’t,it’s not looking good.Hopefully the weather pattern will change by mid March,probably long cold dry spell then,maybe no grass till June again !Yes but there was no grass here till june 13
Hope so, i have silage to sell!!!I agree there wasn’t,it’s not looking good.Hopefully the weather pattern will change by mid March,probably long cold dry spell then,maybe no grass till June again !
