Joshua Anderson of Johnny Appleseed Organic prepares a future Mayhaw Grove by digging mini-swales , or foot-long deep channels, along contour lines of the pre-surveyed landscape. The channels are used to spread, sink, and store water for subsequent use. He uses the subsoiler attachment on his BCS two-wheel tractor.
