[QUOTE="Ruston3w, post: 7318089, member: 50284"] I once bought a pair of old draglines from a farm south of Sailsbury who had, no doubt for centuries, "harvested " silt by allowing their meadows to flood then settle then flood again all winter. I didn't know it was ever done as a routine task rather than just accidental. We are at the end of a brook which runs through a few miles of undulating sandy land and is full of silt in the winter and could easily "trap" some of the silt whilst we wait for the compulsive super-tillers up-stream to see the light. The EA and others I spoke to were horrified at the thought as it would change the nature of our water-meadows and I would be potentially gaining something that couldn't be quantified. Lots of small projects could help with some of these problems but it seems the EA only get excited by big flag waving exercises, particularly when it's their idea. Richard. [/QUOTE]
