Creating a permaculture swale. The ditch is laid out on contour flat and level and marked with flags. The swale is dug on the uphill side of the flags and the berm is built on the downhill side of the flags. The idea is to capture water running down the hill and have it soak into the berm that is planted with fruits and berries.
