One evening in early August, farmer Daniel Sizer’s phone buzzed with a message.
It was from his local water board and it read: “River levels are low but have recovered enough to allow one night of irrigation tonight.”
Like much of the lower half of England, Daniel’s fourth-generation farm had seen barely any rain in nearly three months.
Usually its deep rooted plants that restore water to aquifers. The kind of deep rooted plants that cant grow in mowed fields and farmed land.
Rewilding seems to be a growing trend in the UK which is promising, and should hopefully encourage more deep rooted plants
