Hey man, could you get Neal Spackman for another AMA?

[@eylulwintermeyer7931]

What's the role of Soil FoodWeb in your project? I heard you mentioned that it helped a lot. Could you expand on that? Thank you.

How can we get involved in projects like this?

Be a Saudi princess with a couple of billion to play with and hire Neal. Seriously though, implement the techniques on your own property. I live in a place that averages 36in/year, but I’ve changed the drainage to keep more water on my .2 acres. I did this with a shovel and if it took me about 30 min. Start small and talk about it with people. Over at a friend’s house, I dug a very small retention pond and used the dirt from it to make a berm along the side of their carport, solving a drainage issue without sending the water off the property. On a ranch I work on, I built a small hugleculture type dam at the top of a drainage that has made the pond below it hold more water consistently. I followed Al Baydha from the start and these tiny projects are how I’m involved.
