French drain


Hi Nina,

I was away and didn't get my messages for three days, and now that I have,
couldn't see that anyone answered it.

A 'French drain' is an underground drainage system that is placed at the
bottom of a slope to assist drainage in a problem area.  The system commonly
uses perforated pipe, special industrial cloth (allows water through, but
not dirt), gravel, etc.
