My garden flood taught me to pick rocks that let water through

Test rock drainage before building in areas that get a lot of rain.

Oh wow, I read an article about this. It said gravel beds with big gaps between rocks work way better than solid stone. Lets the water sink in instead of just running off.

My drainage ditch uses large river rock and never floods.

Totally! More space means better soak-in.
