Bioswale

Summer is still going…so there has been less time for blog writing and more time for watering and keeping things alive. Construction finished up last week. The improvements were tremendous and we look forward to incorporating everything into our routine.

The last few days of construction consisted of finishing the bioswale. We will not go into too much detail regarding why we needed the bioswale, but it is a LARGE trench. It is 3.5’ deep, with 1’ foot of gravel at the bottom with a pipe, then 6” of sand, then 2’ of topsoil, then sod over the top. The idea is that water will drain onto the sod, filter down through the different layers and either be incorporated into ground water and never leave our property, or be completely clean if it does leave.

The bioswale looks far less imposing now than it did while it was under construction. So, since we are busy and the blog ideas are running thin, we will have a lot of pictures of the bioswale under construction to give an idea of the amount of earth moving that took place.

Etiquette Reminder of the Month

Please do not climb up the steep face of the bunkers.

See you on the course!
