The first thing you need is a ready to use Sandless Sandbag. I used some last wet season to prevent water going into my garage for the second time. Could have used them the first time. These ones are better than the ones at the big green shed which I used, they don't leave a black mark on the ground. And you can reuse the heshion. Great for people like me who are limited with mobility and can't lift too much, this weighs nada to place, then fills with water. - Wally
