Step 3 - Attach the Downspout drain to Sold Pipe after the french drain. It will work better if the downspout drain has very good fall to the steet and not run through the gravel line. Although it will still work, it tends to slow down the system in a hard rain.

Step 8 Cover the gravel with a Soil Seperated - THIS is Actually Optional. The soil seperater doesn't do very much but it helps hold the top soil in place while your seed starts .
