If my plot holds water, would renting a ditch witch and digging a trench on both sides help it, or would I have to add soil to raise my plot?
not if the soil is more clay like ( a ditch won't drain the plot - it'll just be a moat) -
not if the water table is at the ground level (the water willl just be deeper in the ditches)
Yes its feasible if its run off, and could be diverted downhill.
I don't say "they" when I talk about my plots or property - I can understand the question.
