On Homestead Rescue, last night the show help a couple who could not use their property to homestead because it was mostly swamp.
Raney, dug a ditch much like in this video then added as much organic matter as they could find to the land as it was being drained.
Tree limbs, leaves, logs, scrape lumber, then on top of that they unrolled bales a hay to top the top of the soil.. Then the plan was to run cattle on that area.
Raney showed how he could now walk around that area without sinking into the mud.
It is amazing what can be done with earth moving machines and organic matter.
