    The easiest way of harvesting water is to fill up your yard with a thick layer of organic matter which will gradually rot and soak up all the rain water and feed your plants in your yard immediately and for a long time after the rain season. Your plants should be thick enough to shade the surface from the sun preventing drying up fast

    Great video and awesome tips! And everything you're growing is insanely healthy!!! Curious. I'm learning my 2 acres. Digging around today in different spots revealed that when I go through my (mostly clay) soil down to 1.5 to 2ft + down, water begins to fill up the hole I made. Now, of course, it's spring and we had some heavy rain about a week ago. But I'm concerned about this water filling. But do you think I can use it to my advantage by putting wicking sticks around to pull UP the water?? Your video got me thinking and excited about the possibility. And btw, you're outfit is cool. You look like an elf or other fantasy creature but with great color style.

    Should we put any air holes in the container to allow oxygen in, or is the periodic opening of the lid to add food scraps sufficient?

    • @canberraenvironmentcentre189

      Air holes are needed, If you're up-cycling an old container we recommend drilling holes around the sides and bottom of the container (and sanding the sharp bits back) :)

    Thank you. Lots of ideas i can try out in my garden. I put lots of woodchip down last year which has made an incredible difference to water retention in my garden. Can't wait to try some of these too. My garden is on a slope and will definitely benefit from more of this. I am pleased to say I instinctively created some garden beds in order to stabilise the slope and slow water, but there is definitely room for improvement!
