Tour of our recently installed swales

Posted by Jack Spirko about 11 years ago

In Nov we installed 525 feet of swale in our eastern pasture. The area is about .7 acres in size, there are 525 feet of swale with a holding capacity of about 23,000 gallons. One hour after completion it rained about one inch in a 90 minute period.
