Well done, Brie! This is where you SHINE, girl! It’s not about “gardening for pretty”, it’s about being a good steward of our lil piece of land. I’m lucky over on my side of town. The downpours result in standing water that always disappears in well under an hour. I’ve got a downward slope to the front ditch by the road (aka, Ephemeral Toad & Frog Breeding Pool) and a downward slope in the backyard that empties into a seasonal small creek in a buffer zone. I’m stunned at the FLOW you have from that water! Ouch, the erosion of all that good topsoil! Keep teaching 👍🏻
Wow! That’s a massive amount of rain! We got 3/12 inches from Debby. Love the gravel solution. I need to invest in more for around our chook run. Continued blessings.
Very helpful. We have a water/erosion issue from a hill. I've been putting down river stones, for several years to make a dry creek bed, to slow down and divert the water. It's helped but a continual problem.
I’m so relieved that it isn’t “my garden” causing the neighborhood to flood. I knew it wasn’t but I made the necessary changes to ensure that water can flow.
Donna struck Charleston years before Hugo. Hurricanes are nasty and do damage much further inland than people expect. Hope your parents didn’t have major problems.
