  • It's been a wild monsoon season. Today we walk you around our property to show you how the berm and swale are preforming, and the damage that the rain is causing. But, we also show you the fun we've had this season with all the rain.

    Love the working berms and swales! And Nine Nine's joy of leaping through puddles. Nine Nine appears to have a great ability to keep himself amused with dirt, bugs, puddles, etc! A happy, well-cared for being and a joy to watch! ❤

    So glad you had your swale and berm system installed in time to take advantage of the monsoon season in your area. I watched a video recently about these kind of projects being installed in areas of India that had been over cropped and over grazed to devastating effect. The swale and berm systems are bringing them back to life. So glad you are getting the word out about these regenerative practices. One can only hope that other areas in the western U.S. will join in. Best to your family as you continue your efforts and experiments. Yay, Tiny Shiny Home!

    Back in 2006
    A girlfriend of mine drove her car into a wash that ran over our road in queen creek.
    At the time I worked for superstition springs Honda. I put her car up on one of my car lifts and pulled the drain plugs in the frame.
    It sat there for two days draining. The cars electrical was never the same. Insurance company totaled the car.
    She was lucky she got herself and her kids out of the car, because it got swept down the wash a ways caked in red mud.
    She had bought the car new a week before.
    Monsoon is no joke!

    I love the monsoon season - it forces everyone to plan ahead and to get ready to enjoy being home. I know that you have to work every day to get your home built.
    But the rain forces you to stop working and enjoying rest and relaxation that I know you would not do if it weren’t raining.
    Also, I think the heat this year hasn’t really been that bad. God is having mercy on you and your kids!

    Saw the whole video of the work in progress. It was very inspiring. I knew as soon as I saw your chickens going away at it on the top of those berms that your grass seeds would be gone in no time but you guys have enough grass around there that you could mow or cut down and use as mulch around your trees. Grass mulch has got to be one of the best mulches out there for trees as they are high nitrogen feeders and they just thrive so well on the stuff. It would also be a great idea to get another water tank set up next to the existing one to collect the overflow and from there you could connect it to a pump to send the water closer to wherever you want.

      Maybe not allowed or maybe it’s even too much, from outside their property but for sure their filming ’right after the rai. Will make it easy to go back and tweak for example their driveway.
      For sure when i see muddy water flowing fast i know it’s precious topsoil going. And precious rain not even used, causing problems. Swales should be widely used in road management context, any desert state should catch and retain whatever precious water they get. Dust bowl could happen again and again.
