In this video move my downspout drainage pipe from the surface and into a dry well. I called it a french drain in the video but in doing research it is referred to as a dry well.
Now since I didn’t have enough gravel or any filter fabric, I am assuming this will plug up in a couple of years and that is fine. I plan on having a bunch of gravel delivered in the next year or two and when it is, I will just dig the sand out and put in gravel with a filter roof like a proper dry well.
In the meantime, the 15 feet of pipe and the bramble of plants is gone and I am a happy person again.
This was a wild thought I had one day and decided to try it the next day, so for a spur of the moment thing I think it turned out pretty well.
Nothing ventured nothing gained as they say…
