Let's Make a Berry Nice Yard- Laundry to landscape workshop Feb 2016

Downspouts were diverted, rain basins dug, and fruit trees, berries and some foundational drought tolerant plants were planted. See the photos and story of the first workshop at this site here: http://www.sweetwatercollaborative.org/basic-page/lets-make-berry-nice-y...

The yard was then sheet mulched. Now it's time to install the laundry to landscape system that will provide needed irrigation for the blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries.  From an HE machine, eight is the optimal number of outlets in an L2L system. This is the story:
