Considerations when making decisions about your garden, farm, ranch, neighborhood, or whole region. (Want to discuss this more? We are having two international online gatherings, September 16 & 19.)
Love, love, love this! It's raining hard off and on in equatorial Africa now and friends of mine are facing destructive flooding situations because they haven't yet built up the vegetation/soil around their buildings. Specifically, an art education center I just helped set up was in danger of sliding away due to rain runoff. We immediately worked to mitigate the damage but the next two conversations were getting plants and trees in the ground to aerate the soil, hold it in place, and create ways for the water to get soaked up instead of soaking into the structure. And, of course, they are setting up a rainwater tank.

Hi Emily,
so sorry to hear about the destructive flooding. If you can come to one of our gatherings we might use that as a case study to look at.
