    Does anyone know if coating the top of connaught agri pipe with layer of straw would help to prevent it clogging with small particles and prolong the life of the system?

    It would do nothing for it, besides you need not worry if its bog soil and you install the pipes correctly making sure the fall on the pipe is correct with no points were water could lodge then it will stay draining through the pipe for years and years to come

    They don't deal well with iron/ochre/whatever you call it, just in case you have it.
