Edward,
At the base of my dam, at the very lowest elavation, I often have a puddle of stagnet water that is a mess when I brushhog. The slope of the land is only a few degrees, but falls toward a wet weather creek ditch. I would like the field to drain better. Do you think it would help dry up the field if I plow a trench to the ditch, lay in a four inch perforated drain line, cover it with coarse sand, and then cover with top soil? Is this simular to the drain tiles farmers use for wet fields? Any comments are appreciated.
