new drainage system

Looney1 · 2012-03-17 09:49:01

Just wondering what people think of the new non stone drainage system from connachtagri. How much does it cost? How effective is it on heavy soils

I wouldn't use it on my heavy clay land as i think the water would never reach the pipe with out stone. I think they are really suited to peaty soils in which the stones sink

OP there is a few older threads here about them, just put 'connacht agri drainage pipe' into the search boards box and a few come up. They seem to work better on peat where stone would get lost.

If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.
