Two adjacent swales with Grevillea robusta trees
doing well in the swales and pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) growing on inside
and outside of walls. Compare pigeon pea above with 8 weeks earlier
(below).
Lush growth as goats are fenced out and
swales serve functions of keeping water on site and halting runoff.
Swales collect silt with water from runoff
Top swales collecting most of the runoff from
above are nearly full of silt in first season.
