VIDEO: Permaculture Earthworks and Wetland Ecosystems Part 3


Permaculturist John Nelson leads this workshop focusing on the importance of harvesting water for the use of irrigation, erosion control, diversion, and storage on the farm and homestead. We will explore the concepts behind earthworks and permaculture as a land harmonizing method that utilizes earth forms such as swales, berms, terraces, ponds and pumping systems. We’ll examine these concepts and their practical applications at our Living Web Farms’ new Permaculture Earthworks project. In part 3, John continues his presentation by discussing swales and berms.

  1. I call the permaculture method a "different aesthetic" than the normals.
    Swales are tree growing systems. Keyline plowing is for grasslands and water infiltration. They are not interchangeable.
