Hi everyone. This is my first time posting on here so thank you to everyone for your help in advance. So I currently live in Japan and I'm trying to help transform a former rice field into a plantable/farmable plot for fruits and veggies. Being a former rice field, it holds water that crazy. The area I live in doesn't do organic/yard waste pickup and collection so applying a mulch would be highly intensive. I'm trying to find solutions to solve the drainage issues in the plot. I'm not gonna put any "I heard this person put this down to solve the issue" or any crazy ideas out there to seem like I know the solution. I don't know if anyone has had to deal with an issue like this before. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you
God Bless
