Chuck had originally planned a rain garden of about 315 sq ft, but is expanding it to just over 460.  He is directing water from all 5 downspouts into rain gardens and other gardens around the property and plans to eliminate all turf grass.  Chuck's property drains extremely well with a 12 inch column of water soaking into the ground in 15 minutes.  He has tilled the topsoil into 14 inches of sandy loam and simply raked the loose grass away.  He plans to plant hostas and ornamental grasses in the front of his property.
