Life at Zaytuna – Swales in Landscape
Rob Avis, of Canada-based Verge Permaculture, explains how swales at the Permaculture Research Institute of Australia work to re-hydrate the landscape and re-charge aquifers.
I wish you could fix the sound.
I noticed an oily residue on two of my lower swales yesterday and wondered where it had come from. Question answered. Thanks.
I’ll get some pictures of my P-garden up soon.
Rob,
Great explanation of groundwater recharge and results on spring repressurization downslope.
Keep up the permaculturizations here in Alberta.
