I'll play devils advocate for a moment.
How does industry deal with folk whose lagoon is overflowing by February, tempting them to slip out with a few loads alongside the track/over the road hedge etc. however wet it is?
I was out on a job off the hill a couple of winters ago, and saw someone spreading a serious amount of slurry on maize stubbles and grass, in conditions that were clearly waterlogged. It was equally clear, even to a muppet like me, where it was all going to end up. Gateways poached to bu66ery, mud and slurry back on the roads, and dribbly brown stuff oozing straight on down the slopes.
I'll spread a bit of fym/bark compost on inbye late in the winter, if ground conditions allow...but where, and how should the line be drawn?
