We moved to our property four years ago but haven't had the funds to deal with the garden. I'm determined to do a start myself this year but funds are limited and our garden is very water-logged. I know drains are needed but what ground work can I do to get started before we hit this step? There is a weedy lawn covering the 1acre site would I have to kill it off first? At the moment we can't even walk on the grass as every step you take sees you sink into a watery quagmire. It doesn't help we're located at the base of a sloping hill and our site slopes down to the road as well but we need our green space!
