And everywhere is full of huge, old oak tree roots. Short of dynamite I have no idea how to dig these. Need some Justin know-how.

  • @TheRainHarvester
    @TheRainHarvester 3 года назад +2

    Some use used carpet. The silt penetrates the mesh and then didn't wash out. I'd put it upside down to avoid carpet fibers poking up. It might look obvious so probably better for back roads. Also it might be tough to get rid of.

    • @TheRainHarvester
      @TheRainHarvester 3 года назад

      Also, if city roads are being moved, frequently you can get free 12" water pipes which hold dump trucks if buried deep enough. I used 3 side-by-size under our road. But your road doesn't look built up enough to bury those.

    Roads are the 2nd most important consideration in a permaculture design. Water being number one of course. Up and down on ridges and across on contour is the ideal. Of course inheriting a poorly designed road or driveway is another matter. Love the guardrail idea. Hillbilly genius strikes again 🤩

  • @threeriversforge1997
    @threeriversforge1997 Год назад

    Works like a charm, and is far more environmentally friendly than plastic junk. That said, I build Bump Ups rather than excavate. Same principle, but adds soil and gravel to create a long, low speed bump that's angled to direct the flow off to the side of the road. Simple and just dirt-n-gravel. The key is to make them long enough that you don't get that ugly jarring bump when you go over the things. It should be a nice transition, and the angle shouldn't be more than maybe 25º or so across the road. Gotta build them in close enough proximity that the runoff never gets up enough speed to start eroding things, but since they're just dirt and gravel.... they're real easy to build. I'll keep an eye out for guard rails just to try it. Looks like a fun project just to say I did it.

    Hello from the mountains of central PA! I too have driveway drainage problems, thus what led me to your video! I’m going to employ this clever resolution, however before I do so, I wanted to ask- do you plow snow on the driveways you’ve used it on? If so, does it hold up ok? I figure it will since just the plow feet would be running over it, and the “trough” part is probably filled with snow or ice. Thank you!

    Was just discussing this with our resident master of mechanics. He suggested using a series of guards in an odd number going mwm(wm…) with the w overlapped by the m for more flow than one guard rail could handle. This would prevent a sharp edge from being exposed to tires and feet. Maybe put a grate or mesh on top to smooth the passage.
