Modern ploughing turns the soil in order to get rid of weeds, but in doing so it exposes microbes under the soil that are vital for its wellbeing. These microbes, now exposed to the sun, die and the soil loses its fertility.
Still "pumping" actually. Using the "gravity pump" (hose kickstarted by electric pump) to drain the water away. It's very slow but it works and it's fun. It's taken 6 hours to half drain the cellar. But the beauty of the gravity pump is I don't need to monitor it. I've gone shopping etc and left it.
