Recent History & Land Drainage
In 2016 the current owners bought the land and then fallowed it for their first two years to control the blackgrass. In 2019, the whole field was comprehensively underdrained with a new DMJ Land Drainage scheme, which included over 24,000m of underground pipework and over 3,000 tons of backfill stone, with two new cut ditches. All the new drains have a porous backfill and, in parts, are also filter wrapped. The Scheme is designed so that most of the drains are capable of being jetted, with individual outfalls into an open ditch to avoid junctions. The drains are also set at 1.20m deep, to be deeper than any previous schemes in the field and to catch any older drainage schemes. A plan for the underdrainage is shown in the sales details and an A3 PDF copy is available from the Selling Agents.
Blackgrass
Every year for the last 6 years the field has been hand rogued for blackgrass, and is now virtually blackgrass free.
