Here in eastern Wa., we get 10 to 12inches per year. Not much use for swells, although i dug mini swells to plants some fruit trees in to flood irrigate later on. I pump all my water out of a deep well, and put in a large lined pond as a reserve. I really like your content/life mission. Different places have different problems and solutions, i think the challenge is being creative- thanks.

If you don't mind me asking... is the county making you guys put a septic in at any time? My wife and I were looking for land in the ShowLow area and we were wondering if they would require that before moving on the property. Many other states, like Utah, Idaho, Nevada... and many parts of Arizona... require a septic, which can be around $10,000! I think if you know how to dispose of your waste properly, that there shouldn't be such a requirement.

There are no requirements for a septic in our county but if you get one they are required to be inspected by the state health department. We’re using our grey water for plants and composting toilets. We’ll put out a video when I build our CT

there is also a special plow that cuts key lines if you dont want swales

Jagg.. You have an excellent delivery of info. Have you ever considered developing your talents as related to your work so that you would be called upon to do more teaching ?? I'm sure you could help many folks understand on a better level than most people currently struggle with. Just my humble observation. HEBEL EST OMNIS ADAM

What was the title of the book Jagg talked about before concerning building swells? Thank you!

I don’t remember mentioning a book but I can throw some recommendations atcha. Rainwater Harvesting volumes 1 & 2 by Brad Lancaster and courses from Freedom Farmers (USA) and Verge Permaculture (CA) I’ve completed a Permaculture course with Verge and it was great but since they’re in Canada the climate wasn’t very relatable. Freedom Farmers I’m currently taking multiple classes and the details are more relevant since they’re closer in climate and location. There is a link in the description for a discount from Freedom Farmers so check them out. It’s a great online education program. Thanks and have a great day.

Permaculturist here. I'm in a very different environment, MI... I think you explained it well, but it's difficult stuff to understand. Do you get enough rainfall that you would want to spread it out? Or, would concentrating it be a better strategy? What is your soil infiltration rate? What sorts of inflows do you have from off the property? I would be interested in video that shows any signs of water (you sort of did that by showing the green valley in the distance).

We’re experimenting with different strategies all around the property. We get 9”-13” of rainfall annually. We’ll be concentrating it in high need areas at first but there are some big draws/drainages through our land which I want to try key lines and swales from but I need some more observations during rain events before I jump on those strategies. Also I’m building my wife’s kitchen garden this winter so plenty of soil tests coming up. Most likely filming those so stay tuned and thanks for the comment.

if the water source is lower than the ridge and you are placing a diversionary swale to direct water to the ridge, how do account for a higher elevation? if the swale is on contour, how do you make water go higher to the level of the ridge? beautiful landscape you guys have, i look forward to how you implement peraculture there - greetings from scotland

Key lines only work when the water source/valley pond is higher than the ridge line. Gravity does the work. You can put a key line in without a valley pond it will just collect rainfall instead of sourcing from a pond. There are multiple iterations of swales and key lines and can be used for different landscape situations. Each piece of land is unique so the design will be specific for it.

@@CopperDesertJagg yea the geography you used as a example was a bit confusing ( the two ridges were higher as far as i saw ) - thanks for the clarification

In other words, a key line is a swell that follows the contour of a slope. It keeps water from flowing down slope. Gives me reason not to do a permaculture master class. Why even bother making up words that you need a degree to understand?
