Of Swale and "Flat Land"

Posted by Jack Spirko over 11 years ago

Some say if your grade is less than 4% it isn't worth doing earthworks. To those folks I say, well, see the video.

Kathryn Tracy : So glad you posted the video. We have similar geography in Oklahoma and were just pulling our hair out while taking the online course. I know Geoff keeps saying that everything is easier on flatter terrain but when you have no drop to gravity feed...you have given me hope and I thank you from the bottom of my heart LOL!
