Standing Water and Allotment Drainage
There was a lot of snow, slush and ice on the ground until last night. There's been a rise in temperature and some rain, so if the drainage is going to work, this morning was the time to find out. The pond was over full, the overflow to the Council's drain being a bit blocked. I was able to clear it easily, with the result you can see in the video. There was some waterlogging in the beds adjoining the pond, (see below) and I'm hoping that was a result only of the blocked overflow. Otherwise, I might have to dig another 15 feet or so of drainage ditch, around the NW corner. Or maybe not: the sudden thaw has left standing water all over Glasgow.
