That Thar’s a Swale Pond

We’ve been having fun with the tractor. Here’s one example of that – beginning in on the pond. Right now, it’s only a few inches deep, as we’re digging the outline. When we had a deluge the other day, those “few inches” filled up rather quickly and became an effective swale, catching the water rather than letting it run off the property. Didn’t really think about that until it happened…and now I’m itching to trench in some more swales “upstream” on the property.
