How to build a swale is one of the most important things I have learnt while developing my food forest and studying PERMACULTURE with Geoff Lawton.
A swale is a method of harvesting water, and they work whereever you live in the world.
This is the first video of a three part series on swales. With thanks to Geoff Lawton, this first video is the "INFO" part of this series, and is pulled from Geoff's Online Permaculture Design Course (find via my website).
The second and third video in this series are here:
Part 2: Geoff visits my garden and helps start me off with planning where my swales shall be: https://youtu.be/I5OU7LG9Cl8
Part 3: I get help from my community and dig dig dig: https://youtu.be/6zM8wBbR4RQ
