Its been raining on and off for last two days so haven't done this but will try at the weekend.
Dig a straight sided pit to 2 ft. Leave overnight, covered. If water collects - high water table.
No water - fill pit with water and leave covered for 24 hours. If water remains, drainage is poor.
Most plants go down 20 inches. If darker topsoil rests on thick layer of clay or rock deep digging won't help and raised beds may be necessary.
