Thanks a bunch for such informative videos. Being a city dweller thinking of buying some acreage for hobby farming, I was ignorant about drain tiling - your video was very informative and educational. Appreciated.

Just watched all you videos. And they are all well done and very informative. Why not more and more often. To be honest I'm from next door to you in Vermont have just purchased a 30 acre piece of hunting property and could really gain from your insights. I need some food plot but am unsure what to plant. Watching your videos has been a really good learning experience for me. Thanks and hope more is to come. Marti

I was afraid that you aren't gonna finish in 8 mins but you did nailed it and improved my drainage understanding in a more practical approach.

Should have used 6ft wide silt cloth in ditch, 2β- 3β of 57 gravel, then 4β or 6β perforated pipe, then fill with gravel, fold cloth over, then back fill. Pipe you installed will be full of silt soon. Sorry.

My garden keeps getting ruined. Spent lots time on YT looking for info then I FOUND U. TY

That is nice work, and I have some similar work to take care of on our property. Where I live there is plenty of sand, and rocks especially in a few areas, but I don't have to do it right away since it is not in the yard area.

thanks for the Vid ,it truly cleared a few of the doubts i had ,,very well presented .

Could you tell how much all costed and how much land did your drainage pipes cover? Thanks in advance
-
If you had high spots and low spots on your property could you take dirt from the high spots and put them in the low spots, would that be feasible? Of course you would gauge a slope where water would drain to.

What does something like this cost? And is it by the foot or size of the job and does the price change depending on the soil?

Superb... Good job we have traditional indian technique for our areca farm

Nice Job!

Was it just low lying land or did you have a spring? How big (diameter) was the drain tile? Can you drive a tractor over it, or is it just for a garden, not plowing?

I got about 4ish acres of the 27 that i own that will hold for weeks after a heavy rain, do you think something like this would fix it? It is all flat ground that has a slope of about 1ft every 2-300 ft, it hold water because the lowest parts runs into a high bank that is about 2-3ft higher than the lowest part. That bank was manmade due to train tracks being on the other side of it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Awesome! thanks for sharing. I have a paddock that has not been totally dry in the twelves months I've owned the land. Last week I walked on it and went ankle deep in mud. I'll be putting a dam in part of this area, but the rest will need drainage if I'm going to use the rest of the paddock. You've just confirmed an idea I had. Thank you.

Nice drainage project.
-
I think they are digging a trench that's been dug, back filled and redug. No lift on the idle at all.
-
I have apprehension of improper grading lead to silting of pipes in between and ultimately pipe drain need to uproot and relaid . Any details of pipe drain working after 5 years may give correct picture.

Overall very good job the backhoe is painfully slow and very awkward. Outside this well done π β π

No geo textile? How do you keep the soil out of your stone?
