    Our Halloween pumpkin got forgotten about near the edge of my deck . I did throw them out eventually . Apparently not before seed dropped from it . Months later we got a pumpkin plant . Its still kind of small but its doubled in size . So I thought I should look into how to encourage fruiting .

    So how does this work in the winter months ??? .the front of my house faces east when the sun comes up in the morning it melts the snow and ice in the rain gutters and drips out the downspout making my driveway icy. I made the downspout so that it, it actually drains from above and off to the side into a snowbank. I don’t know what is best Have any ideas anyone?. I was thinking of cutting the concrete driveway so that I can put a 4 inch corrugated pipe and then run it along side the driveway towards the street but I don’t know what to do at the end of it. I don’t want the corrugated setting up where I can see it. I don’t care for a big hole for bees or animals to crawl in or do I just dig a hole 2 feet fill it up with rocks and let it drain into that but I also don’t want to spend the money

    Perforated is used when the piping doesn't slope enough to drain properly. But perforated needs a 'sock' wrapped around it to prevent debris build up from blocking the holes. The sock allows excess water to drain out and doesn't let debris in. If you have enough slope, you don't need perforated.

    Seriously - it looks great to me. I watched your downspout video and thought it was very, very good.... OK, it was excellent. I wondered about the pipe going away from the house, but it was perforated, so that answered that one... and you made holes in this pipe. Diffusing the water across a larger area makes perfect sense to me - and we are on acreage size property. We DO need to do something to solve the rapid water rush from the downspouts, they drill a pretty fast hole into the ground... and we cannot have that next to the house! (As you well know.) I am considering a number of options, but putting something below ground level really does seem to be the best solution, because the house was built up a but, and all around the house, the water will be running down slope... your helpful videos provide direct and indirect options that I could use to either get the job done, or consider additional options I had not thought about without seeing your videos! Great work, another LIKE for your video!

      Remember, this video was for extending the sump pump further into the yard and and giving it some underground drainage. The initial problem was that the whole house dehumidifier was pulling so much moisture out of the basement air that the pump was pushing water out so often that the yard was staying wet. Not an issue now. Thanks for watching.

  • @jereg1791
    @jereg1791 7 місяців тому

    The work ethic here is great but the problem with this is drain pipes are not pressurized and can only flow water correctly and fast enough if the entire drain is pitched to a lower point. Where this pipe attaches to the bottom of the downspout is not pitched or elevated enough above the termination point of the bubbler so the water actually has to travel upwards through the elbow to exit the bubbler so you're not actually flowing the water you're just pushing water. Under light conditions it's not an issue but under a decent rainfall water is just coming down the downspout and slamming into a pipe underground half full of water and just getting pushed out the other end, it won't be able to keep up and just come back out where the new pipe is connected to the downspout being that point is basically at the same height as the top of bubbler. Basins are for collecting water, pipes should never stay full water afterwards, it means there's no pitch from entry to exit point and your not moving water your just pushing it. Also another absolutely needed factor if using bubblers in a system with little to no pitch is to surround/circle them with a hard surface of 6 inches or more the diameter because once the grass grows over and inside, the spring loaded cap won't pop up fully or at all after enough time and no water will flow after some time being there's not a lot of force behind it's flow.

    @avasartistrystudio3230 8 місяців тому

    Well, you avoided one problem and created another. As water is discharged across the length of the pipelines, you will have the problem with saturation which will eventually lead to the same issue you attempted to avoid. The pipeline needs to be direct deep into the group at last 2-3 meters with a diameter of the hole at least 30 cm. Fill in the hole with layers of biochar, stones and small rocks in interchangeable layers until the top. The discharge pipeline should be faced 90 degrees into h the hole. Fill the upper part of the hole with soil and compact it and plant something with high water demand. Just my opinion.
