[QUOTE="Phil P, post: 7462149, member: 33598"] Non of our drains have stone on them, if they did they’d be blocked with ochre within a couple of years! Probably 60% are laid in clay soils with just 8-10” of top soil on the pipe and they will pull water just fine. A lot of our tile drains went in before my grandads time (he’s 97) and they are still run fine now. On heavy land I wouldn’t go more than 10 yards apart either, any land we’ve had at wider has always ended up with one in between eventually, our peat and opencast ground is drained every 5 yards!
