hi brothers & sisters...

read the entire thread, pretty good discussion...

however, have you tot of placing an underground lawn piping system? ala those grey color 4" pipe and you make a 10 cent holes let's say every 5 inch apart? this solution are for those experiencing flooding lawn condition..

My lawn is having water patches all over after each down pour and I am/or already started ground soil piping work at snail pace however.. DIY style.

I also intend to rigged up and lay down automatic water dispenser, like those Claber or Karcher (its expensive, i know)...

Suggestions, idea & show-how is much appreciated.

I have laying this underground pipe before plant the grass long ago. Just DIY only.

Buy those pvc pipe. Drill alot of hole. Lay few pcs about 10cm below ground and at the end of the pipe toward longkang. Than cover with medium size rock. Than small rock than sand. The rock is made sure the water easy can go in the pipe. So far solve my flooding garden.

You guy can buy the ready made HDPE sub-soil pipe, or use PVC pipe to drill holes/ cut slots, wrap it with Geo-textile, bury under ground about 6", fill the surrounding with coarse sand/ 3/4"agg., pipe to pipe 2' c/c. i'll find some old drawing/ detail to post here tongue.gif

Even small garden, sometime I m lazy to maintain. But I never think of cement it at all. The house will be hot with the heat reflect.

It is very nice and beautiful to have a grass garden. Specially morning when you look out and see your garden so green. While sipping your hot coffee. thumbup.gif

And I want to have some oxygen too breath too. tongue.gif
