Our Complete Water Harvesting System gets put to the test when nature delivers a beautiful thunderstorm with 40mm (1.75 Inches) of rain. We caught approx. 9500 Litres / 2500 Gallons in about 1 hour. All our tanks were topped up, and our swales were completely filled and infiltrated into the food forest within 30 minutes after the rain stopped.

We have been working on our property since 2016, transforming our barren wasteland property into a permaculture oasis. We have been building a food forest, utilising mini swales and other water harvesting techniques. Growing fruit trees and managing a raised bed vegetable garden and kitchen garden. With composting, chickens, worms, mealworms, and more we are embracing a permaculture lifestyle one step at a time.
We live on 1/3 acre in a dryland/flatland area of Victoria, Australia. Our climate is semi-arid/temperate with an average rainfall of 400mm (15in). Hardiness Zone 9b, with summer temperatures reaching upwards of 45C (113F) and as low as -3C (26.5F). We are 230km (143 miles) inland and 110 metres (361 feet) above sea level.
