Hi. I came across your video here..am writing a class report about the effects of farming on coastal environments for a Marine Environmental History Course and reading some with phosphates and nitrogen additives; which I noticed some various types of drainage tile used there with the agriculture fields as pipe-drain; is there some sort of publication which refers to the different variety by year; where can I get some comparison for them; are they all from use there with the farm? Thanks.
I will have our curator get in touch with you to see if we have any information for you.
Hi, I have some “old”? six sided clay drain pipes, about 1 foot in length. I have 13 of them. They have about a 5″ outside diameter, with a smooth circle inside diameter. If they are of any interest to the Tile Museum, you can have them. I will be traveling through Geneva, next Saturday, July 1, 2023. Thanks
