we ran out of gravel and fucks. off for more tomorry
Ooh that's looking good.
Very impressive!
So what actually is going on here? What's the pipe?
drainage. Our land slopes, the previous owners put in a brick retaining wall for a level garden bed. It had zero drainage, so was essentially a bathtub. The pipe is socked 65mm AGI, the arms slope down to the centre line, except the last one that the centre slopes into, and then goes out a drilled hole that will hook into further drainage. Finish gravelling over the pipe, fold the geotextile over like a fat sausage, kick the dirt back and then later putting in decorative dividers that will mimic what used to be a pile of concrete and brick bed dividers I painstakingly dug out.

Aha! Yes I get it now. Very impressive. That's a lot of work ๐ป
