Rainwater Harvesting
Veg Appeal, 6448 Scimitar Drive, Encanto
Age Limit: 18+
Cost: $50
During this two day hands-on workshop with local water-harvesting expert Alden Hough of Sky Mountain Permaculture, you will discover how to drought-proof small scale to large scale landscapes using earthworks, how to prevent erosion, and how to create nutrient dense biologically active soil.
We will be using earthmoving machines to construct a huge swale and small road to harvest rainwater. In the future the owners plan on installing a pump to collect water from the road and pump it up to storage tanks higher on their property. Snacks, tea, and water provided. $50 for the weekend or $30 for one day. RSVP: [email protected] or 760-975-6523.
