Frequently asked gardening related questions
Rainwater harvesting is fundamental for permaculture. The simplest method is installing water butts connected to downpipes from your roof to collect water for irrigation. For larger scale, consider building swales (contour ditches) to capture and infiltrate runoff across slopes, or constructing small ponds or dams to store significant volumes of water. The goal is to slow, spread, and sink water on-site, maximising its use and reducing reliance on mains supply.
