Quality Farm Drain Tile Systems From Clay or Concrete
Agricultural engineer Ray Armstrong of Town State College explains that both concrete and clay farm drain tile can perform well if properly installed and cured. He notes concrete tiles resist freezing but can deteriorate in acidic or alkaline soils. clay tiles with low absorption suit high acid or lime areas. Ensure density, uniform shape, proper strength, and absence of cracks. test soundness by tapping for a clear ring, and prefer tiles meeting ASTM standards. Lay on firm beds and use the 440-foot method for 4-foot depth to cover an acre, offering cheaperinstallation and deeper water access for crops.
