Here is the first in a series of images that follows the design process of building permaculture swales. This is preceded by an intro about ancient knowledge of patterns and what they left behind,

1. Water as a Solution Catchment and Earthworks

7. Vision Parkwalk Permaculture Project aims to collect all rainwater runoff for the purpose of cleansing the runoff while also providing water for associated plantings. We seek to store water mostly in the ground but also some in tanks.

27. Coat Sheet mulching material with molasses water

28. Prevent grass invasion with sheet mulching

29. Create a fine mulch from wastes such as leaves
