The fishscale (aka pit swales/horseshoe swales) swales are looking good! Much easier to manage weed-wise than traditional swales & terraces. I did a video with R&R farm on constructing these (type in “pit swales orchard Roots & Refuge” on YouTube).

There are geese & ducks in here the trees had to be wrapped with chicken wire to protect from geese.

I forgot about these, thanks for the reminder

Nice, I looked up fish scale swales when you mentioned them the other day but didn’t find anything.

This is definitely how we plant individual trees here in Texas to hold all the water we can
