We have found that most Permaculture students may still have some trouble understanding the swale concept after taking a PDC course. In this course Tom Kendall explains his take on the Permaculture Swale and shows practical examples from his demonstration site Kendall Permaculture Farm. This course should help solidify previous knowledge of a Permaculture Swale. We recommend this course to existing students of Permaculture who already have some idea of the swale concept. The course is broken up into smaller sections so that you can do just a little every day and it will fit in with everyone’s busy schedules.
