Thank you! This is what I did by instinct & everyone kept harassing me to use pipes etc... (I'm a woman so they seem to think I'm stupid) It's working great with a small trench filled with rocks & it's pretty! Nature is awesome! Have a blessed day!

Hahaha..you know what you need to do...hahahaa... I'm a guy and I'm amazed how a free project only involving sweat equity can turn into a 5000$ project if you listen to every one's good intentions.. Just tell them..what a fantastic idea..give me your credit card and I'll do it...see what they say next

It depends entirely on how much water you need to move. For large amounts a pipe would work best with the correct practices of nonwoven geotextile/rock trench/etc. But if you don't have enough water flow for that just the rocks work fine enough.

I’m of such modest means that I wouldn’t mind digging a trench and just going over it from time to time as it fills back in to help me with my issue. It doesn’t take much to divert the water from its current destructive path. It’s good to see the odd video on KZitem that doesn’t offer the typical five figure solution.

Agreed. I've looked high and low with way too many videos of differing drainage methods and opinions. Many contradicting and confusing... do this, don't do that, this product is better than that one! I have a barn that sits at the bottom of a down sloping field. Obviously it is always muddy and wet when it rains. All I want to do is "divert" most of the runoff from the surrounding hills away from the barn and barn yard toward a drainage ditch along the nearby dirt road. I've looked into plastic corrugated pipe, gravel, and a sediment sleeve. After pricing about 300 feet of those materials, I paused to look for another way. I like what I saw in your video. I could actually make my trench with a single bottom plow on my tractor, and just buy the gravel. And if this doesn't work, or fails in my lifetime, I'm not out that much money and I learned something.

Won't the clay and mud clog up the gravel in afew years?

And there I would be, mistaking the drain for a path and feeling disappointed when it just ended up in some muddy land at the foot of a hill. :D Around here the farmers tend to place piping so as to guide all the runoff towards the nearest cranberry bog.

That was hard work. Rocky soil. Hammering through that and then shoveling into rocks had to be back breaking. I saw the big stone you had removed sitting there. When you're my age your back will be as jacked up as mine is.

the only problem is during a hard rain the walls will collapse and you have to redig the trench. I did mine like a V shape instead of a U shape due to erotion...

you briefly mention lining the walls of the trench with stones and covering with more stones to create a “cavity.” i’d like to know more about this method - does it have a name? when is it best used? do you still fill the cavity with gravel? thanks a lot

Nope just a spade and a few other tools. Is not that hard.
