Mini Swales for water collection.

in dtube •  7 years ago 


I thought I'd show you a video of my "Permaculture Mini Swales" for water collection here at my little Homestead. The most efficient and cheapest way to sore water is in the soil itself!!! This is a 4 year old video, but I hope you enjoy it.

Ack! my computer doesn't support the video format of your video.

Can you watch video on Youtube?

Yes, I can, but this windows 10 POS is pretty glitchy, and I haven't figured out how to solve that yet.

@preppin-for-real... Try this....

I'm not sure how I missed this post, I probably just didn't spend enough time going down through the posts on my feed.
I really like the idea of catching water with swales, if you have a slope on your property it can work pretty well. Our yard has a slight slope, but not really enough to take advantage of. I usually just use small berms and ditches in my garden to catch the water. This year, that plan backfired because we got so much rain that it made the ground too wet for the beans to sprout.
