Frank;
In the book "Successful Small Scale Farming- an organic approach" by Karl
Scwenke, (Storey, '91) there is an illustration on p.45 of how to make "a
terraced waterway" (which sounds to me exactly like a "Swale") with a
mouldboard plow. "In most instances the small scale farmer will find that he
can move enough earth with his plow to make any terracing that he needs
without having to resort to hiring outside earth moving equipment"
-Rick
