Info

An established rain garden in bloom. <strong>Rain</strong> <strong>Gardens</strong> intercept runoff before it reaches storm drains or streams.
Deeply prepared bed – The soil in the garden should be 6-8 inches below the original slope. The bed itself should be 2-3 feet deep and filled with a mix of 50% sand, 30% topsoil and 20% compost. Many articles suggest the bed should be 10 feet across. But a smaller garden bed can still work. Note the berm on the down hill side. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . .
