Market Garden — Correcting Potholes
Define the finished purpose, reference levels, underlying material condition and the evidence required by the receiving operation. Geometry alone does not establish structural or agronomic performance.
This reference assembles relevant extracts from the guide library. It is general project planning, not a local project report, verified specification or translated technical publication.
Potholes
A pothole can be a local surface failure or evidence of water and weak support below. The repair method should match its depth and cause.
Before moving material
Inspect the surrounding layer and water entry route.
Receiving operation and checks
Compact the repair and inspect the transition to the existing surface. Check that water is not trapped at the repair edge.
Simply pushing loose soil into a road pothole is not a durable pavement repair.

Market-garden landforming should support the chosen bed system, water arrangement and repeated small-area traffic. Plan changes before the beds and services are established.
Before moving material
Record bed layout, productive-layer depth and drainage outlets.
Receiving operation and checks
Complete planting preparation and irrigation installation. Check access and bed-end connections.
Do not assume every market garden uses the same bed geometry or irrigation method.

A high spot is meaningful only relative to the intended surface. It may obstruct runoff, limit cultivation depth or sit above a construction formation. Cutting it without knowing the target can remove useful soil unnecessarily.
Before moving material
Measure the feature against surrounding levels and the agreed datum.
Receiving operation and checks
Recheck the corrected level and restore the appropriate surface layer. Check whether the high spot was a local deposit or part of the intended contour.
A visible mound is not automatically a defect.
