How to go about draining your garden?

Problem arises when there are patches of water on the surface of gardens. In order to check the efficiency of land drainage, the best thing to do is to dig a 600mm hole along with a 300mm square followed by filling it with water. This should be left for around 24 hours. In this duration, if the water gets emptied, the soil is well drained otherwise not. On a piece of land that is very wet already, the hole may get filled with water. If in case the top soil is very poor, importing a new layer of top soil is a good idea. The type of drainage required by your garden actually depends on the nature and extent of the problem of drainage. Shaping up the garden surface so that the excess of water goes off, is a good idea for accomplishing garden draining. Such ditches can be of the depth 0.9m to 1.2m along with sloping sides. Underground pipes made of plastic, clay and others are used widely. Experts say that underground pipes should always be laid at a height above the water table of that particular place in order to prevent the pipes from moving the groundwater.
