[QUOTE="cows r us, post: 7344890, member: 78044"] I think you need to look at your soils profile. As you said if you have good infiltration in the top foot but it cant go any deeper then it's not much help. Look to see how deep the clay layer is. If its possible to grow deeper rooting plants that can put roots down through the clay and out into a layer of soil that that can allow water to get away then that maybe an option as it will help open up pores through the clay layer. If like some of mine the clay goes on forever then the only option is drains back filled with stone. Expensive but essential. [/QUOTE]
