Ground is now too wet to walk on without the risk of compacting it.

My sandy soil is now saturated by days of rain, which you might think is good news after the lack of rain.

However when the soil on the plot becomes this wet, I need to avoid trampling around on it.
Compacting the soil does it no favors, after all, part of the benefit of adding compost and manure to it is to improve the structure of the soil.

So it is walking on the paths only if it dries up enough to fit in a visit to the allotment this week.
