mullethunter Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I agree - some variation on the Newland Mud Management is probably the best remedy lon term, but that would involve digging everything up and relayin so I guess not possible at the moment. It may help though for now just put a load of paving slabs in on top of the mud with gaps between them, then chuck a load of wood chips on top. Might help until the spring when you could do it properly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
