Best practices for water management in my permaculture setup?
I'm currently exploring ways to manage water more efficiently in my vegetable garden. I know that permaculture emphasizes sustainable water use, and I want to make sure I'm on the right track. I live in an area with some dry spells, so I've been hand-watering, but it feels tedious. I’ve heard about rainwater harvesting and swales but have no clue where to start. Can anyone share some practical techniques for implementing effective water management that would fit into my gardening style?
