Good point, but I would like the water to leach out over a large area following the run of the pipe, rather than have it all discharge into a ditch along the hedgerow.

I am actually building a washing and packing area.  For the drain, I
decided to go with regular sewer line (the 4" white ABS pipe).  It more
expensive, but I fear a perforated drain would accumulate soil particle
and muck in the concentric grooves, and would thus tend to block.

Just sayin'.
