    I didn't purchase it :D

    I found it a good read, although 99% of what's in it doesn't apply to my land type. Even with that I found it interesting and got one useful bit of info from it.

    If you are on bog like me, it's of limited value (everyone I know just uses open drains).

    If you're not, there's a lot in it.

    Mine is land that's prone to flooding a couple of times of the year. its bog land when the flood receeds. I hope to find a way to get the surface water off.
    I have open drains but was hoping to find a way of draining the areas between the drains. Without digging more drains or putting in land drain pipes.
