Vladd7 thanks very much mate! New episode will be up in the next week :) you can watch it days early on my patreon too! www.patreon.com/lulusperch

Thanks very much!

pluki1357 thanks! Plenty more to come :)

Thanks very much! I love making each and every episode like planting a seed. Although some seeds take longer to germinate than others :) thanks again

Thanks Mohamed! That means a lot :) I also run the Living Classroom Project KZfaq channel which is my Not-for-Profit teaching permaculture in schools if you want to see more

Abady 4 ever thank you so much! Plenty more to come :)

:)

Garden of Weed'n Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

That's awesome Chris Goodman Thank you! Plenty more episodes to come, some say Chad the chicken will be making a return soon...

Cheers mate! I should do a duck episode in the future ;)

Lulu's Perch yeeeeeessssss ❤️😂

I can't imagine using an A-frame or bunyip level over 6000ft. You definitely made the right decision to use a laser level! Did you film the process by any chance?

I did. I made a video that shows what the orchard and swales/berms look like today. I'm working on another video now (that should be done next week) that shows the process from measuring to digging to planting.

It certainly is! Great spotting me' hearty!

Hey Kyle! Great question. It's an A-Frame with a string and plumb bob. When the A-Frame is level I mark it on the timber so when I head out into the landscape I can use it to find the contour. I go into more detail in my swale watching episode!

Aye!

relevent Hurt` correct! Too many swales too close together can actually water log your property. Meaning that the soil is so saturated over a significant period of time that it can't receive oxygen, locks up nutrients and becomes anaerobic like a stinky slushy swamp. This can be avoided by planting trees on the berm and below the swale. It's important to check your annual rainfall before digging! In some extremely wet areas in Europe they install swivel pipes in their swales to release water in heavy rain months and close them for lighter rain events in dry periods :)

Good question! My suggestion is don't dig down but build upwards. By that I mean placing rock gabions, fallen logs and sticks along the contour. Reinforce this with deep rooted clumping grasses like vetiver too

@@lulusperch1742 Cool man, thanks. Since I messaged you an idea came to mind: using a walking two-wheeled tractor plough; one could deflate the hillside tyre to help to dig into the slope and the mouldboard of the plough would fold the sod over downhill to create the berm. 2-3 runs, to create a square foot swale. What you reckon?!

@@thecontonemethod1582 If you've got a machine with a low center of gravity on a steep slope I say give it a try. Although a swale and berm may be redundant on a 1:2 slope, you may only need to rip on contour with a Yeomans plough. Have a look into PA Yeoman, he would rip ploughlines from valleys slightly off contour down to the ridges.

@@thecontonemethod1582 Sounds like a clever idea! getting the sod cut, folded upside down and placed on the downhill berm with a gentle batter leading up to it would be a tricky yet achievable invention!

Abady 4 ever haha there's one 96% uploaded to youtube now. Then another by next weekend 😊

I hope it’s the chicken episodes 2

that one will be next week ;)
