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 6, John begins by describing fertigation and example of that on his homestead.

Please do not put rainwater into your wells. You risk contaminating you and your neighbours aquifers. You need to talk to local authorities before you bypass natural systems for ground water recharge.
