Water: slow it, sink it, spread it, use it

Today we're taking a look at the various ways we're working to slow, sink, and spread the water that falls on our site. Strategies such as berms, swales, leaky weirs, ponds, and even plant layout can influence how water interacts with the soil so we'll visit each of those ideas as we make our way up to the beginning of the catchment area.
Lally Luck Farm is a small scale permaculture/regenerative source nursery in Southern Maine. We're transitioning much of our lawn to row gardening and food forests, and converting the degraded woodlot on our property into a healthy and functional food forest in the forest. Come along as we document the steps to grow a source nursery from seed and our journey from overcrowded pine forest and lawn to edible perennials. We'll cover a broad range of topics from design considerations and processes to planting theory to plant management, so get ready to get into the weeds with us. We hope you'll join us in learning from our successes and failures.
