Re: shade/bog gardening

I think we discussed this before. In this part of the world, the difference between a drywell and a French drain is orientation. What we call a French drain is a ditch filled with gravel; what we call a drywell is a hole filled with gravel. The former is essentially lateral; the latter, essentially vertical.

Is a drywell & french drain the same?

Basically, yes; there may be some difference, but I sure don't know
what it is; may just be semantics from diff. parts of the country.
