[QUOTE="Phil P, post: 7465169, member: 33598"] I believe stone on the drains makes ochre worse? I can’t remember what happens exactly but but it either reacts to and cause it to go hard or it pulls more. There is a reason to to put stone on in soils with ochre though. I think a lot depends on how much water a drain pulls. Ones with a good flow all year don’t tend to give trouble but ones that tend to dry up quick don’t take long to silt/ocher up. Once the ochre drys out and sets it’s very hard to shift it! We have some drains with a lot of fall but they are shallow and soon dry out, they give endless trouble. [/QUOTE]
