Hi Lisa,

Will you or one of the others give me a briefing on what this topic is all
about? I've never heard of some of these terms, and your mention it being
helpful in the Ozarks has my interest piqued. Fortunately, my hills are very
tree covered, some in fairly old growth forests, though not original - but of
at least 25 years - which is something rare around here, so water runoff is
not such a problem.

Roxann, NW AR
