Rainwater Harvesting Basics: A Simple Muffin Tin Metaphor

Brad Lancaster with the muffin tin demonstration compares FUNCTIONAL landscapes with water-HARVESTING topography to DYSFUNCTIONAL landscapes with water-DRAINING topography.

Water-harvesting landscapes also capture and grow organic matter, soil fertility, and the living sponge; while reducing flooding and controlling erosion in a way that helps recharge our groundwater and mitigate drought.
Apply to save money, time, and resources; & grow verdant, productive gardens and landscapes.
