Cotswolds Garden - FAQs
Frequently asked gardening related questions
Natural ways to manage water runoff in an organic garden include creating swales (shallow ditches on contour) to slow and spread water, building rain gardens to absorb runoff, and using permeable paving or gravel paths. Increasing organic matter in the soil dramatically improves infiltration. Planting groundcovers and creating terraced beds on slopes also help to capture and slow water flow, preventing erosion and maximising water absorption naturally.
