I'm with you Captain. I would love to see that kind of runoff. My problem may be slightly different. The entire runoff area is thick with pines and hardwoods. All the debris under the trees seems to stop and hold the water before soaking into the sandy soil. For any rain event under 1.5" I get virtually no runoff. With the big 6" rain this Spring, the pond came up 18". All the rain over the last couple weeks has helped to improve things by saturating the soil (about 2" for every 1" rain).
Someday, I may get up enough nerve to try a controlled(?) burn. Wouldn't even dare to think such a thing the last two years.
