I would build swales, berms, drainage ditches and ponds with all that water, just like sepp did with his property

Love it! Thanks. We've only been back on the family homestead for a few months. Getting here in September didn't leave much time to get to work before the snow started. We've already started extending the pond, and planning now for the spring.

We got 10 inches in the first snow, then it melted off and we got about another 8 inches just before the holiday. Good snow for hunting season!

Getting pretty excited now about the building. After looking at the property, we are considering making the building long enough to include out winter goat barn separated from the greenhouse. We have the heavy equipment, we can get the tires, and we have a crew of Earthship lovers willing to come out and pound tires with us if we go that route. Fun stuff!
