In short, new house, nice garden out the back, but seems to have very heavy, dense, clay-like soil and the rain water is just sitting on it!.
I dug a test drainage hole and filled it, it took about 2.5 days to empty, so I need some suggestions to resolve or at least improve the drainage of the siol.
Can I just dig it out, in rows, tiling and adding 'organic matter' or sand or something. This seems to be one option on some gardening sites?
I also heard the likes of bamboo love water so would be good planting options on re-dug soil?
Any experiences and help appreciated!
