Wrap it in TerramThinking about doing some grade one silt , what's the modern practice ?does the Poly pipe need wrapping on silt ? How much gravel backfil? Or none of the above .
Does if its got a drainage problem.Does grade one land need draining?
No it will eventually choke and then that’s it. At least if the silt gets into pipe through the gravel it can be jetted out expensive but do-ableWhat about sand.. Would you use filter wrap on that ?
You always see the guys in the Polders using filter wrap pipe with no gravel.. I've tried jetting sand out of tile drains with limited success..No it will eventually choke and then that’s it. At least if the silt gets into pipe through the gravel it can be jetted out expensive but do-able
Hate to say it but I've heard that ochre can form in ten years - hopefully your installation will avoid that fate (I write not from personal experience).How long do you think filter wrapped pipe will last without bunging up in sand with ocre in it?
Put some in here 5 years ago. Still running well, but I'm always concerned about it.
No stone used. 20mm fall in 20m. Running sand.
