Two weeks ago, we undertook a HUGE project on the farm, installing French Drains on the farm. My friend owns Lockwood Construction, LLC, an excavation company, and he helped me solve our longterm water issues in front of the barn in our livestock heavy use area. First we dug vertical drains six feet deep. We installed geotextile fabric, then round rock, then drain pipe, then more round rock, then crushed rock on top. The vertical drains met with one long horizontal drain which carries the water away from the pasture. I learned to operate an excavator and also learned that ditch digging and shoveling rocks by hand are NOT my favorite jobs, but it is so worth it for the health and wellbeing of the animals. Not to mention, cleaning the barn is now WAY easier.
