Today I'm adding fruit trees to my Rainwater Garden Project, where I collect rain runoff water from my road, divert it into catchment basins and grow plants in the desert! It's my attempt at some desert permaculture using swales and berms to collect and retain our monsoon rain water. This year I'm adding fruit trees to it and am hoping to be able to grow them year round with no additional water... fingers crossed :)
Please let me know if you have any questions! thanks, Joe
