Frank, I love John's idea of pulling those little ponds into elongated
swales. If clay's the deal, work with it by planting a deep rooted annual
crop ( daikon, alfalfa) and follow up with tree planting - poplar, willow (
Not sure of the nutritional value of willow, there was a post on that
recently, but poplar, according to the USDA has "twice the feed value of
clover, honeysuckle" and a third plant I can't remember off-hand.
