The problem with clay soils - rain or drought

@DennisD

Everything works pretty good as it is for me. I have put in many drains and water ways, ponds, terraces at great expense. The thing about clay is it does not drain quickly. The water will cut ditches if the water ways are to steep or it will drown everything if not steep enough. Clay is high in nutrients but difficult to work with.
