Harvesting Rainwater on our Homestead 🌧️

Hello from our Homestead in Alentejo, Portugal! Over the last 2 months we've been putting into place a water harvesting system called swales. We've put them in 3 areas so far- a small slope without vegetation & very little top soil, a big slope we're transforming into an orchard, and, most recently, in our veggie garden. We have had very little rain since summer, and this last week we had a couple days with rain! We're very happy about this and it gave us the opportunity to see how the swales all do! Will they collect water? Will the water infiltrate or run off? Watch to see:) We've begun planting a couple trees & looking forward to showing you more about that next week. If you'd like to support our project, here are a few ways: 1. Watch, comment, subscribe, share this video:) 2.
