Please notice I said long term - like a few years down the road. A contractor dug some trenches for me to drop some new underground wiring into for some grain bins a couple days ago. When he was about done it came to my attention that I was having increasing problems with waterlogged pits under the horizontal unloading augers. The pits are not that big - just an earthen hole about the size of a bushel basket to get the loading auger in. While he was there I decided to have him dig a trench out in front of the holes to drop a 4" tile into to see if I could keep them dry. Outlet was near by. Contractor said to back fill under the discharge augers with washed 1" limestone gravel. Now initially I could see the water getting to the tile faster while the gravel is clean. But, of all places under a bin discharge aren't all of the voids in the gravel just going to get filled in eventually????? Once the voids get filled in could the water actually move slower into the tile???? Water isn't going to move through a piece of rock. Just trying to figure out whether to go get some rock or just use the native soil. Any ideas or experiences in regards to water movement through clean 1" limestone rock over the long term?? Thanks
