Your garden is loving it though, right?

Oh yeh, good easy draining clay. Floods with the slightest rain and bakes solid with the briefest sun. I must have stabbed the bloody thing a million times with a fork and still it won't drain.

You should buy a boat

is that your lawn ?

Now you know why I have a problem mowing it.

jeez

arate and topdress with sand .... a few times

Nah, we're going to dig it up and concrete it over for better drainage.

You could put in a crop of rice.

Astroturf

Dig a pond for it to drain in to.

Dig out channels, from multiple points in the garden, to where you want to drain to, fill them with gravel and top them with topsoil & turf.

Worked wonders for my parents garden which all clay soil.

How's that going to improve the drainage exactly?

You could put it on a floating platform.

It wouldn't.

It would improve his lawn.

Like Ziexhemilko.

Not even google knows what Ziexhemilko is.

Yes, exactly like that.

Anyone know wht he's on about?

The floating gardens if Ziexhemilko, just outside Mexico City.

I have zero idea of how to spell it.

Floating Gardens of Xochimilco

It's on the way to the big mountain there, called Pop-a-kettle-petal?

if you read that out loud it = SEXY MILKO.

the best kind of milko, i'm sure we'll all agree.

Currently being smashed by this huge penis storm... 100mm+ of rain expected...

We're about halfway up the shaft...

Holy kak that was some biblical thunder and special effects ghostbusters lightning and no mistake. Does anyone actually recall when rain wasn't as regular or as torrential? Please tell me one or two of us was out riding in that!

So glad I'm not at Glastonbury.
