Expand your toolbox for withstanding drought and learn how to make every drop of water count. This HOW (Hands On Workshop) will introduce you to various techniques you can easily implement on your property to create lasting water resilience. Resilient systems are better able to bounce back from stresses caused by long or short term changes; such as our current drought.
During this workshop, you will learn about various techniques for water retention and conservation currently in place on this 8 acre permaculture homestead. Learn skills and technologies that are designed to be effective in practice, easy to maintain, affordable, and which can be replicated on any site, at any scale.
Demonstrations and hands on learning will include:
- Living Soil – how to improve soil biological health for maximum water retention and plant health
- Rainwater Harvesting –how to collect rainwater into tanks and infiltration basins for productive food systems
- Water Reuse –how to reuse & recycle water, including greywater, for your landscape & gardens
