RE: Landscape regeneration. Healing from Motocross Track. First Earthworks: Terrace / Retaining Wall, Pocket Pond, Soil decompaction on 400m2 (4300 square feet).
Sounds good dear @canadianrenegade.
If I will not see the post due to information overkill, feel free to send me a heads up. I would love to contribute my knowlege to this project!
For now I can only advice, that any culvert is reason to be afraight of erosion. So if not addressed properly, there WILL be problems evolving out of every water running downhill. So make shure to prevent that by any kind of "slowing, spreading, soaking" measures for the culverts.
Also any "quasi swale" that is not completely on contour turns into some kind of very shallow drain. The prevent erosion here in your clayey soil you should not go steeper than 1:500 slope and seed the drain with groundcover right after installing.
Talk to you soon then, and looking forward on your earthworks-posts, as this is one of my favourite permaculture fields.
All the best.
Moritz
Thank you. I will notify you when I post on it. I have the same problem. Just too many posts and follows to keep track of.
Nice to meet you Moritz, I am Matthew and my wife is Aimee. Sometimes she posts /comments on this account but she usually ends her comments with:
