Regular maintenance of ditches is crucial for successful land drainage. When ditches function correctly, they prevent surrounding land from flooding, enhance the structure of the soil and enable better yields. To ensure efficient operation, it is essential to regularly cut back and clear ditches, allowing water to flow freely down a gradient away from fields.
Neglecting ditch clearance can lead to expensive and disruptive work in the future, which can also harm wildlife. Avocet recommends carrying out ditch maintenance during the autumn and winter months as it is a quieter period for farms, minimising the impact on wildlife.
