[QUOTE="WTM, post: 4432602, member: 6230"] sorry i didnt see your latest reply Jcalder. you definately have some water problems. this is the problem with heavy tillage in spots like these, and your not alone. i had the same problem 25 years ago with a small 5 acre truck patch. one plot had a grade to it before i found the benefits of a cover crop. like Mick T said, hay bales on the upside will disperse the water for now and you can even take a garden hoe and make a furrow around that will catch the water and channel it around the garden. just make sure you tamp the furrow with your foot or tamp board so it doesnt wash. a mix of oats/wheat and crimson clover/winter peas would have kept your soil in place and disperse the water throughout the garden.
