[QUOTE="Guy Dreich, post: 9205005, member: 170726"] Have used stone in schemes done 40 odd years ago.Adds hugely to cost and I’m not sue it’s worth the money to be quite honest.Have had problems in dry years of roots following backfill down to drain and choking them.Another problem ,particularly with trenchless draining is connecting existing drains to new scheme.Gravel backfill will hide problems until a spell of heavy rain then water will bubble up everywhere. Better to use backactor digger at 10m and backfill when dry and forget about gravel. [/QUOTE]
