Upgrading Drainage to Control Storm Damage

After another heavy rain, we nearly had another disaster like the 2015 disaster.
We had already built a spillway to accommodate the thunderstorms that seem to be increasingly frequent in the last 3 years.
However, this was not enough to keep the rising flood waters away from our gardens and home.
With the help of Fiona and Elisa, our two young wwoofers from France, we increased the drainage systems downhill from the spillway.



After the soil is piled downhill of the new trenches, we planted the new berms with Taro for both erosion control and edible functionality.
