- Test your garden or farm’s soil for clay content and see if it is high enough to seal ponds without liners or amendments.
- Roughly estimate how much water catchment your property can collect.
- Build a small swale in your garden or in your fields. Perfect your technique.
- Extend your swales, no matter how small a parcel of land you have—even micro-swales are beneficial.
Happy homesteading,
