Understand the Gravel Clogging Problem

What happens here

The video starts by addressing a common concern in DIY landscaping and construction: how to prevent gravel from clogging with soil. The speaker explicitly states that whenever stone (like gravel used for drainage) makes direct contact with soil, it will eventually lead to clogging. This happens because soil, being a very small granular sediment, will infiltrate and mix with the larger stone particles, compromising the drainage capacity. The first step for any DIY project involving gravel drainage is to understand this fundamental problem.

Goal: Recognize the mechanism and inevitability of gravel clogging when directly exposed to soil.
