39TDS Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 Drag the plough through a couple of times before you do the run with the pipe. And yes, the ground is as hard and dry here that I have ever seen. Rock hard dust down to 2'6", possibly deeper but I didn't look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grandson isnt looking to plant the water pipe until later this year, hopefully the ground will be a bit softer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when the ground is soft it serves to move stones away that could potentially rub the pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
