CJ, ?? about your wetlands.

[Admin]

Are you wetlands filling up? All summer long we barely had any rain at all but now all it does is rain and it's messing up my bowhunting. We're starting to get some water back up in my dry spots. Are you getting all this rain?

[cj]

Starting to. I'm guessing it will be til Spring before it's full, and another year before it looks like a marsh. I do welcome the good rain we've had though. Currently, there's proabably about a foot and a half of water in three spots.

No natural springs to help fill them? Or didn't you want to feed them like like that?

[cj]

teamhoytpa, it's funny you should mention that. We do in fact have a spring on the property, not far from the wetlands. But, when the contractor neared it while digging the tile trench, it was extremely sandy ground, so he couldn't go any further.
On the plus note though, with the rain we've had over the last few months, it just about full.

Is the spring close enough to have any affect on the wetlands? There were a couple spots last year in our swamp that had springs and a lot of animals favored these areas when the rest of the shallower parts froze over.
