The weather

[Gordy]

Beautiful sunny day here. Snow melting and flooding me at the bottom of the hill. can't win.

Had to block off and back drag the lower driveway section in front of the shop last week as it became soup . First time ever for that bad .

Any chance of landscaping some shallow ditches to lead the water away? I had to do it here, the driveway heads downhill but could get mushy and if the water was running fast enough take the gravel down hill with it. I keep a 2" crown in the driveway, and depending where you measure the ditches are 2 -10 inch deep to keep the water flowing.

I wish I had some elevation here. My immediate area is as flat as a pancake. The ditches all dump intp the Erie Canal which is about a mile away. I’m thinking of digging a mosquito hatchery way in the back of my property and have drainage ditches run to it. That way my gardens could drain off earlier than they do now. Harry

Well if you do, relocate the topsoil to your garden and build up its elevation even more, win-win

Our little lot is the lowest point of the entire area, except for a corner which leads to ditch that goes away from us. I would have to raise the entire lot. To do that, many dump trucks of soil would have to be brought in, and also a permit is needed. When I bought it it was the end of September, I had no idea about the bog problem, everything was dry, green, and beautiful. One of the reasons for the smaller backhoe is to run a ditch on two sides of the lot, might help. Oh well, you can't win them all in life.

@DavidBarkey - I think the weatherman saw your about all the weather possibilities last time... I don't think he is taking any chances with this one...

Just got back from a trip to Ottawa, and then swung by our property to have a look at how things went this winter - had to walk up the driveway... Still have a good foot of snow on the driveway across the back of the property - and 2-3 foot drifts all over - might be a few more weeks before I can start doing any work up there...
