Never heard of micro rain gardens, googled them, also a good idea for some places in my garden.

And yeah seems like an awful lot of work aha

I'd imagine just getting a bull dozer or something, digging a whole lot of deep rows.

Then putting a sign in my neighbour for everyone to just come dump everything in the ditches, throw some wood on, light it up and repeat several times.

I saw that they are attempting synthetic stuff too which I might research later.

Bamboo sounds like something worth investigating.
