Width of drainage trench?

Jim1000 · 2015-09-27 16:41:09

hello lads an ladies, I have to dig a trench 2 foot deep around 30 metres in order to drain a spot on my site. I will lay some drainage pipe which can exit at a passing stream. Thing is, the neighbour can do it but has only a 2 foot bucket on the digger. Would this be too wide or would it work? What should I fill in in…

It will work but you will use an aweful lot of stone to fill the drain.
