Healthy soil and sustainable growing

I'm envious. That would have been a lecture I would have benefited from.
Thanks for the resource.

In my neck of the woods it's illegal to capture water on your property. I
didn't really understand why until I attended a xeriscape lecture and the
instructor said it has to do with laws that prohibit interrupting the flow
of water to downstream users. He then went on to show us a photo of an
elaborate rainwater collection system he admired.

Did Lancaster address any changing of local ordinances or water laws?

Today was a unique experience. We heard Tucson native Brad Lancaster present
his Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands, a two-hour slide lecture at our
favorite nursery, Plants of the Southwest in Albuquerque. This guy is the
real deal, innovative, well informed, very entertaining, young and on a
mission.
