Central NY | I prefer sock tile over the fine cut for speed of drainage. The fine knife cut does work pretty good. But I have had to go back and add regular tile to side hill seeps and low spots where the fine cut doesn’t drain heavy storms fast enough. We run 90% sock here. Fine cut won’t hold the sand back on our home area, but have some customers that have run it for years and want us to install it for them in their area. The sock costs us an extra 10-16 cents depending on the brand.
We have lots of issues with wheat plugging tile here, only on sandy soils. Doesn’t matter if 2’ deep or 3’+. The roots get into it, and then when they die off and get flushed down stream they eventually bunch up on each other somewhere. Some springs we spend half a day, some springs we spend almost a week fixing wheat root plugs. Just depends how much rain we had the prior may/june | |
