Haha. I have poor soil drainage so what can I do to fix it? Build a pond. Thanks
if you're not showing how to fix something, why make a video and waste your viewers time?
Hi does the pipe have to have holes in it to drain the water? Otherwise it will only drain 1 end?
I have layer of rock that can not be removed becasue it has attached to house. i planted a tree right above that rock and has poor drainage problem. I was wondering if you have solution. thanks
bullshit
This video is garbage. Its not really helpful.
great advice. cheers.
This video was helpful because when she said French Drain, I could search for French Drains and see videos which actually helped me.
You didn't show us anything. I can read everything you said on google. I was looking for a "how to" video not a "what to" video. This was completely useless. At least we got to hear what you did where you used to live.
I really don't care you wasted your time making this video but why are you wasting our time? Why did you post something like this?
good advice. thanks!
Thanks. I'll try topping up the area with lots of compost. My dahlias are wilting. It could be soil saturation
Oh, more dirt. Okay. 😐
Rocks actually make drainage worse.
how did this video got more dislikes than likes?
Thank you. I live on a creek bed and it's all clay soil. In some parts of the year, our lawn is a mud pool.
