  • Nice. Good idea for a workshop. We do need more raingardens. In our city the old 100 year flood happens now every 10 years.

  • @ozjthomas Ours are coming more frequent too. Sign of the times.

  • That is really great that you are doing that. Have you seen the video here by AmericanRivers about the rain gardens and why they are so important? It's really explanatory. Our entire yard is a rain garden...hehe I'm not joking.  The perimeter of our property goes up and all of the rain gets trapped in our yard. Of course, our sidewalks and driveway floods too but at least it's not running off into the sewer...it soaks in eventually.

  • @PaintedRavensong Ha! I sounds like some rain barrels are in order.

  • Some local river rock and your set.

    Great to see the kids involved....Great dad!

  • @NibiruMagick2012 Thanks.

see all

  • @RVqueen Thanks.

  • @AdamHintz "It could be" not "I could be" :)

  • @donHooligan I could possibly be a solution. One of the misconceptions I had was that it's like a wetland. It's not, specifically because the rain garden should soak up the water with in 24 hours. So you're going to want to place the rain garden in a place where the soil and plants will soak up that water quick, the exact opposite of a wetland. If you place the rain garden in a place possibly just between where the water is coming from and where it collects it just might work.

  • we've got some water drainage issues. i wonder if a rain garden could be incorporated into the solution. great vid, Adam. thanks.
