This DVD from ecofilms (http://www.ecofilms.com.au) looks at a small acreage farm and follows Permaculture teacher
Geoff Lawton and a team of students as they consult with a client,
survey the landscape and discuss the best way to capture rainwater and
divert it into a series of swales to feed a dam system that they will
construct over the course of three days. This DVD explains each step of
the way and is a good introduction to Permaculture Earthworks
construction and explains the basics of good design to harvest water
passively as well as potential problems with excavation and how to deal
with those issues. This DVD ends when the swale and dam system is
completed. See our Establishing a Food Forest DVD on how to plant on the
swale system and grow abundant food once your earthworks is in place.
Video duration is approximately 70 minutes with a number of extras
including an extended interview with Geoff Lawton’s “Greening the
Desert” video and a look at Permaculture Earthworks systems around the
globe.
