SAVING WATER AND NUTRIENTS USING SWALES - Weedy`s Garden Walkabout
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 02. 2024
- In this episode from www.theweedygarden.com I explain what a swale is and how they benefit the garden by slowing down the water and holding onto nutrition in the soil under my fruit trees. It`s permaculture inspired and totally organic up here on the hill - far away from any town and even further from a city.
Enjoy and give thanks if you are thank FULL just by hitting the thanks button.
THANK YOU
Weedy

A big hug from the forests of Brazil. Here we have a master who works the soil just like you. His name is Ernest Goetsch. Swiss by birth and Brazilian at heart. I suggest you research your work with syntropic agriculture. Health and peace to all.
I know of him and have been inspired also 💪🏻😃👍
Thx for share ! Have located him as well on youtube. Blessings...
I cant wait to build a swale fruit forest at home. Thanks for the inspiration
Have fun!
I love water harvesting videos. Especially swale systems.
Thanks weedy god bless you. Remember Jesus loves you
Swale of a time, with the perma gang. 🎉
🫵🏻😃🤣
Loved the quick cut at the 🍄 bit
😉
your video's are in a leauge of their own man! so consistent too!
thanks man!
I would love to see a contour map of your beautiful garden. You’re awesome dude I can’t ever wait for the next video.
Well if you pause at 5 seconds in you can see the contour map
Thank you Weedy!❤
I needed a Weedy video! I have got the spring fever. It has been so nice here. Everyone says snow on Monday. 😢 We are supposed to have a big emergence of cicada this summer. Thanks Weedy!
You’re such a sweetheart Weedy, one of life’s innocents 😊 I love how you look after your patch of the planet & everything living on it 👌
Sweet 🙏🏻
Roc it weedy ☯️👣🎸
I can’t wait to own a property like that down the road ❤. Thank you for walking us around your beautiful property.
You bet!
God bless you my brother 🙏🌍I have learned a lot from your quality videos my dying wish is to visit your garden 🪴 sitting under a shaded tree feeling that energy that would bring tears to my eyes 🌳
Getting ready to build-out our 2nd farm (we are a non-profit in Long Beach, CA). It happens to have quite a few acre feet of slope I look forward to incorporating with swales! ❤
Nice little cubensis there friend ;) Love the gardens and the videos! Love from Canada!
Thankyou Weedy. Beautifully explained
🥑🍇🍋🍐🍌🍉🍊
My pleasure 😊
I like the part where you run around with your arms outstretched! Great vid Weedy "smarter than a bush turkey"
😊🦍
Way to go Weedy!
and I'm up here in the "warm subarctic" (more specifically, roughly 54°N, 122°W) with half a mind to plant a hedgerow of seabuckthorn and Osage-orange (Maclura pomifera)..
You are so blessed to have some brother in soil that have the same vision of permaculture.Your videos are always a refreshing & full of good knowledge thank you sir! New Zealand seems to be e real paradise in term of bio diversity .Keep weeding our souls! cheers!
Thanks 👍😝
I've been doing "chop and drop" since you mentioned it in one of your earlier videos. Thankyou. 😀
Wonderful!
Cool video!
It's a joy watching your videos. Thank you
Nice 👍
You have awesome friends!
The garden is going gang busters weedy! Well done
You bet it is Dale 🫵🏻👍😄
Nice one weedy
Thankyou weedy so much for your video, informative and fun😂❤, had to laugh also when you said cicadas were quiet.. I couldnt hear if they were because I've got heaps grasshoppers and crickets going off atm.😂 Have a wonderful day.
😮😂
I love your videos, so much awesome fun knowledge organic to learn and thank you for sharing, God Blessed you ✨
You are so welcome
Lookin good dude
Great video as always ❤
Nice cheeky cubensis 😂😂
🤭
I love your videos so much! Have you tried planting vetiver grass on the edges of your swales? Very deep roots, great for stabilizing sloped land, wonderful chop and drop plant, and you can even harvest the roots to make an essential oil that's supposed to help with focus. Good for zones 9a through 10b. Looking forward to your next video! Love from Florida ❤️☀️
Actually do have a little bit of it but it grows too big and takes up too much space
Beautiful ❤❤
Nice little gold top their😊... happy growing brotha🙂
They are everywhere
@TheWeedyGarden
Love your progress up there bro, it soothes the soul to watch!!👍💪
Tack!
tack 😀🙏🏻
I bet you get plenty of cubes growing from those cow patties in the swales 🍄
Beautiful video again mate! I love the tour so far...cant wait for the next episode
Can we make swales to already established trees ( if the contour is correct)?
Sure
❤❤
💚
🤘🤘
Enjoyed the video, but shouldn't it be COLLECTING water, not harvesting?
Saving water, harvesting, collecting ect ect ect. I guess I have harvesting on my mind atm
Do you need to do anything to maintain the swales? I'd imagine after a few years they might fill in and stop doing their job
Vegetation hold it together. The only time I repair them is when the bush turkey digs them up
How do you keep the paths clear?
The paths around the veggie garden are lined with rubber mats and covered with sawdust. The food forest I mow and weed
3:31 is that straight camera flow or CGI?
no CGI
Hey Weedy, what area does your lot have??
50x50 meters
Where do you get the dwarf mango and support tree from?
Daleys nursery
@@TheWeedyGarden Thanks
How to you like that Flow bee hive?
Can you do a video on it?
@@zenclimber yes it is in three episodes, so next weekend aboutish 👍
I think you would have been better to snake your drainage, so it takes longer for water to get from A to B. Not have areas that can get waterlogged. More soil would need to be moved with what i am saying, and longer recovery time, but long term it would be better.
nothing gets waterlogged as the soil drainage is 💪🏻🤌🏻
