What are you guys doing with your swales? I’m experimenting with bamboo laid on contour with pallets for potted trees on top. Should allow water to infiltrate the heavy clay.

Also not sure what else to plant on the berm. Went with a bunch of strawberries, one fig, one pomegranate, a dwarf mulberry, holy basil, hibiscus, etc. Zone 8
