Does any one have any info/Stats on the extent to which replenishing
groundwater by way of swales/berms increases soil fertility ?
What I'm looking for is better comebacks to the people who insist that in
Northern Vermont, with its 30 plus inches of rain a year, earthworks are
redundant.
Bill's comment that it's not how much rain falls, but how much STAYS is
mighty useful, but I need more, More, MORE I tell you !
