Love it

If all the churches aren't doing this, I don't believe they're listening to God. 😅

Thank you

This should lure tree roots away from your house.

Just keep eye on erosion next to your driveway. I think you're displaying something I'd call wisdom.

OP delivers the follow up . 🎉

This video has a serious lack of Spirits.

great and simple to follow presentation!

Sidewalk is unhappy.

What Maintenance will be required? Will leaves and debris eventually cover the stones and allow seeds to sprout and grow? Curious. Love the concept. I have 7 rain gardens on our property, but haven’t used stone yet. Great video. Thx.

Great vid. Surprised that there is no rainwater tank though.

Very nice. Also making the parking lot permeable would help. German cities have a "rain tax" which is levied per square meter impermeable surface, so most parking lots are paved with paving stones that allow water to infiltrate into the soil.

Where I live 1 good summer storm would destroy it all, do youchave a catch up video with the adjustments you had to do??

Would the city let you dig a large catchment basin around the storm drain so you could have a street garden as well?

A pond would have been good for the community.

Now, normally I would be more skeptical of the buried outfall here, but dumping into a basin before that final length of pipe may serve as enough of a gravity catch for the debris, providing it was cleaned out often enough to prevent any from getting in. Just wondering how the buried outfall has held up clogwise and cleaningwise

Brilliant Thank you... watching this day after Libya got flooded ... (2023.sept 12th) Appears that old dams build over 100 years ago, and city houses build during the 60'ties and an enormous lack of political responsibility is the cause to these tragedies. And yet solutions could be easily done.... sharing the knowledge is the power for the future and we cannot wait for greedy politicians to act ... Blessings and love.

Don’t try and over design something that doesn’t really need it.

To me this is real landscaping you are using land management knowledge and human engineering to reshaping the land to be better utilized.

Great video! I hope you cleaned out the debris from the storm drain area.

Awesome!👍😎🇨🇦💧

How is that a percolating basin if you lined it with non-porous material?

Hi there! Do you have to worry about the pipes underground getting clogged or is there a filter somewhere in the system that prevents debris from getting in there?

Great overview and intro to edible foodscapes and permaculture.

As I'm planning my yard rain harvesting this is one of the most helpful passive plans I've seen. Did I see irrigation piping near the trench parallel to the street? Also, first I've heard of no-mow fescue. Desiring a nitrogen-fixing pollinating lawn.

Very clear process. Tu. Curious to see the use of wood chips for sequestration, I have plenty at the moment.

This was fabulous - I learned a lot. Thank you. Subscribed.

I like what you've done, however I must ask why not trench along the asphalt at 90 degrees to the sidewalk? Wouldn't that take more pressure off the overflow in a hard rain and minimize the chance of a blowout of the basin? Additionally you could channel it further along the top of the second bed below the basin. The reason I ask is that you've slowed it and spread it a bit, it is still pointed directly to the foundation. While you mitigated a lot of the problem, in hard rain you are still looking at a saturated foundation with possible seepage in the basement as it appears to slope directly to it. (Especially with the downspout where it is) Maybe its just the camera angle and you've corrected the grade at the foundation level. I just know from experience with our basement waterfall (Our water supply pipe had more water around it than in the pipe itself) until the grade was corrected to slope away from the house nothing we did could stop it. One last thing, the grass looked mighty sparse below the basin in patches is that from mowing or is it already experiencing erosion?

Great video. I am curious on the results of a rain event. Btw how much rain do you get where you are? Annual/ peak event Cheers

Dude, you're killing it.

This was an awesome presentation, you can hear the passion in your voice. You have inspired me with my own property. I hope more people see this!

Why wouldn't you have made a larger rain garden near the front and edge of the property line to prevent more water from running into the storm drain?

Yours are some of the best water-harvesting videos on RUclips! Amateur question about the perforated drain pipe connecting the two downspout outlets: Is the perf. pipe level? Or is it sloped slightly toward the downspout by the front door?

What a great project and clear explanation - I'm inspired to try to deal with my own flooding issues in Seattle with some similar principles!

Nice work on the video Andrew! Next time it rains I'll be excited to see it in action. :)

looking forward to work on the water harvesting :-)

I appreciate this informative walk-through. Also, your video on re-routing rainwater.
