NEW PROJECT: Permaculture BERMS & SWALES - Planning & Marking (Step 1)

Welcome to a brand new project here on the Tiny Shiny Homestead! Part of our permaculture plan incudes massive berms and swales that will run through our property, creating wind and fire breaks while catching, storing, and diverting water during monsoon events. Today we plan and mark the first berm and swale, making adjustments to help it work best with our property.
