| I have an issue with drainage. There are areas I want to be able to drain really well, and I want to be able to drive my tractor over it.
Let me start with one area. We have a blueberry field about .5 acres in size. It gets way to wet until about June-July to mow and or dive tractors on it. I also have another area leading up to another garden area. This area too is too soft. What are some easy or moderately difficult ways to fix this? I want to be able to have the soil drain and harden so it can be driven on. |

| Stone path might be the solution. With the right size of stone and in suitable depth, the space between the stones could drain water efficiently while giving your tractor a firm grip on the path. |

| Swales and berms. |

| If you have a lighter textured soil, you might also be able to use a french drain around the field. |

| Sounds like drainage tiles would work (assuming you have somewhere for them to drain to). Just Google "drainage tile" and you'll get lots of info and ideas. |
