I was part of the first cohort and I want to echo the theme here...the course material plus mentorship via office hours from Zach makes all the difference. I'm a new mom and so just getting started regenerating my own tiny piece of land. We can do this work on any scale.

Is this possible on .27 acres?

Hi there! I m wondering what can be done on a smaller acreage, for instance on a quarter acre because it wouldn t be enough space to build a pond there. Adi

Hi there! I've also been thinking about this also. My observation is that water can and should be studied on all scales.

Hey Adi, I'm applying the knowledge from the course on many different scales. I use it a lot on a tiny garden scale to direct, store and infiltrate water where I want it. A big part of the course is focused around building smaller versions of the features to see how they perform and to slowly build the skillsets for bigger land. Let me know if you have more questions that can be answered from a student perspective.

Absolutely! It starts by observing and optimizing how water flows and infiltrates in a flowerpot all the way to massive landscapes. The concepts and patterns stay the same. @@kieranj.kirwan8081

Thanks for your answer. If you could give me a hint,an example for a small garden that in on a slope,about 8th of an acre what would you do? Maybe some swales or trenches on contour to accumulate and infiltrate water?

I had a small yard and a vegetable patch. I noticed that, during a storm, the organic matter was staying in the gravel yard so I redirected the runoff to a sinkpit in the vegetable plot. Check out what Brad Lancaster does. It was from watching his videos that I said to myself "Hey, I really need to observe my garden during a rain storm".

Highly recommended! I couldn't be happier to work on water cycle restoration full-time after taking the course.
