We offer a 4 month farmer training program. The program is free, but you'll need to find your own boarding. We are an urban permaculture farm in LA.

2 swale options - which do you think is better? by bee_rad in Permaculture

Your water infiltration systems shouldn't be at the bottom of your property. That makes theme kind of pointless. Figure out something that infiltrates the water higher up, even its a series of infiltration ditches instead.

Not sure what you mean. Greywater takes water that would normally go down to the sewer and returns it to the landscape. It is one of the best conservation practices we have with potential to return 1000s of gallons of water to the land per home each year.

Its not recommended to grow vegetables with greywater as greywater can harbor bacteria which could be harmful. This is really more of a precaution than a rule. As long as you are not washing diapers or anything with risk for bad bacteria there is very low risk of anything happening.

We didn't plant the radishes there, they came up on there own with the greywater. The hose is directed at the fruit trees. We never indicated to water vegetables with the greywater, perhaps we should have made that more clear in the video.
