I believe they are located "upstream" in their watershed, which reduces the chances of being washed away since it drains less. But I did notice that the ditch can get quite wet, so it is good that they have the garden in raised beds. Also, since the garden is in a drainage feature, it makes it even MORE important that they remember implementing ways to promote water quality.The Dirt on Soilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13955063473012431050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011245660209137374.post-87912632549919733232010-09-19T17:34:08.942-07:002010-09-19T17:34:08.942-07:00I'd like to hear what the kids have to say abo...I'd like to hear what the kids have to say about the project.
