Why and for what we need the drainage system
Many problems for gardeners can and does not create a very hot, but rather a rainy summer. If people are faced with such a problem at the time of the ripening of their harvest, then this produces not very pleasant consequences. We also know that there are different numbers of harmful mammals that live in wet conditions and give even more trouble to people.
It can be concluded that drainage of a garden plot by one's own hands is necessary, and it is an integral part of prosperity and a good life without flooding, unnecessary pests and just a good kind of your earthly possessions.
The very word "drainage" can be deciphered as:
- This is a good material that absorbs soil moisture without any problems and is most often used to grow plants in a closed ground area.
- An excellent way to drain water from the site.
Do not forget that the soil is different, and the absorption of moisture can occur in different ways. If you have a porous soil, the water passes without unnecessary problems, but the plants that are on it do not always get enough of the right water.
If your soil consists of clay, then it is heavy soil, and it does not have the property of letting moisture out as easily as the porous soil. Unfortunately, it does not let water pass to the very roots of plants, trees, which is not very good. But it can be easily and easily handled, it is necessary to drain the site.
In order to determine the type of soil on your land, you should conduct a couple of not very heavy operations. First you need to make a pit, about 60 cm, then fill the water and after a certain time our moisture should evaporate. Throughout the day, the water should disappear, if so, then our soil is porous, and if the water does not disappear for two days, then the earth is dense.
How to properly install the drainage system
Before you begin to drain the garden area with your own hands, you need to draw a diagram. At the initial stage, we must think and decide with the water intake, after the first stage we should begin to prepare a trench for taking water directly from the drainage system.
The most important rules for installing the drainage method:
- 6-9 centimeters is the diameter of our drains, and up to 10 centimeters is the diameter of the collector. Calibres can be similar only if our object is 0.5 hectares.
- The deepening of the ditch is intended for collectors and pipes - 1-1.2 meters, and the width is up to 40 centimeters.
- Open drainage channels with a depth of about 1 meter, if there is a slight slope or even up to 1.5 meters.
- 2-3 millimeters - a drainage system with a slope to the collector, the diameter for each meter of pipe is 50-100 millimeters. If you have clay soil, the laying distance is 7-10 meters from one another, if the sandy soil is 15-20 meters.
- The location of the entire drainage system from the foundation is 1 meter, and 0.5 meters from the fence.
If your site is located on a slope, and you do not want the water to collect and stagnate at the very bottom of the site, you need to think hard how to properly and effectively drain the site. To do this, we need to make a drainage well with a drain pump, through which all the water will be pumped into the pit or ditch( receivers for collecting water).
Implementation and order of work
The order of work is in the following stages:
- The depth of the drainage pit is 2-3 meters with reinforcing walls. Most often, reinforced concrete rings with a diameter of up to 1 meter.
- It is well known that drainage pipes have the property of silting and that they should last longer before laying them, it is necessary to wrap them with a material that filters the coarsely dispersed particles.
- You can use filters made from rye straw, peat or weaving waste. With the help of their plastic pipe protection is doubled.
- Lay the pipes in trenches, which are already covered in 5 centimeters rubble.
- For 30-40 centimeters there is a sprinkling of gravel or crushed stone, then by 30 centimeters of sand( need to be large).
With the help of autoregeneration, the filter permeability, carried out from straw, does not fall off. It can easily be said that autoregeneration has the ability to regenerate the duty cycle, when the decomposition of the material that is filtered in the production process is inevitable. Especially these filters are used on clayey and loamy soils.
drainage time is very important It is very important to have several conditions for drainage care in mind:
- Do not move on heavy machines in drains.
- Carry out soil loosening for reliable operation of the drainage system.
- Rinsing of the drainage with strong head of water after 2-3 years.
