** MOVED FROM OCTOBER 13th TO OCTOBER 20th **
A s the climate swings unpredictably year to year, causing early spring flood s and summer drought in the Western United States, it makes sense to unders tand and implement established ways to manage the rainfall on our propertie s. Whether we live on a small suburban lot or run a small farm on multiple acres, these techniques allow us to be resilient in the face of uncertain r ainfall. We can thus begin a process of building predictability into our su mmer gardens, regardless of whether we have a native pollinator garden, gro w fruits and vegetables, or do both. This talk will focus on techniques suc h as rainwater collection systems, as well as ways to slow and stop th e flow of water on our ground so that our soil is better saturated when it does rain. It is possible to actively compensate for a lower rainfall in th e winter so that it has a smaller impact on our summer gardens.
