PERMACULTURE SWALES -
When it comes to growing anything, it’s all about water. Moisture in the soil builds organic matter and fertility, which equals naturally healthy plants. Regardless of what you intend to grow, shaping your landscape to harvest the water is step numero uno.
Raised beds shaped on contour, also known as swales, sculpt the landscape in beautiful patterns that clearly define path and bed. Clearly defined raised beds and pathways help avoid soil compaction, allowing the soil to act as a living sponge and loose medium for plant roots.
If you’re curious about swales & food forest design my first book - Edible Landscaping with a Permaculture Twist - dives right into the how to of getting started.
Have fun digging it up!
Edible Landscaping designer and author Michael Judd share practical how-to on growing many uncommon fruits and nuts - in bite size pieces!
