Mapantz Thanks for that, that’s interesting (I’ve had landscaping work on hold for several months as it’s too wet to use a digger ). If I’m reading your chart right, does that mean it’s actually a bit drier than average for you? If so, I’m curious about the soil type you have. Below topsoil here is a lot of clay, some of which is almost pure blue clay a few feet down in places (some areas are more free draining because of seams of limestone and limestone brash). The ground appears generally saturated here still, and the persistent light-moderate rain here today is likely to make even lawns proper ‘squelchy’ for a few days. Feels like we need at least 4 weeks of warm/dry weather to get anywhere near ‘normal’, just below the surface!
