Great video. I learned some important concepts that I’ll be incorporating into my in-progress rain garden. How reassuring to know runoff into Rock Creek is being reduced by this rain garden. (Aren’t you cutting into the curb? Why is it called a curve cut?)
Important topic and every yard should have a rain garden for the wildlife and for the bays and estuaries. You lost me with the landscape fabric, though. That stuff just ends up as trash and prevents air from getting into the soil.
I'm with you on that. I don't think they shouldn't avoid plants in the stones they would help slow the water even more and provide partial watering zones for even more diversity. I do understand that part of their thing was making it look nice.
Isn’t it organic compostable matter and so ends up incorporated into the soil? You’re referring to that white material that looks like it could be coconut husk-type matter, yes?
