Hello! Do you know if it’s possible to “dig back out” what used to be a river running through our land? It was annihilated during the soviet “land improvements” to optimise agriculture. (We’re zone 6a, Europe) Even if it won’t be a proper river, maybe a creek or even just a pond to diversify the property and thereby the ecosystem. I’m new here and I don’t see how to add a pic to the post, so I’ll just add it in the comments. Right now a farmer is using our land to grow beans for animal feed. The beans grow over the ex-river territory too. He is using pesticides, ofc… That’s another thing, but I saw some good suggestions here about de-pesticising.
