Greening the Desert, Step by Step, Backed by Volunteers
Water is the limiting factor on the Dustups Ranch. Fortunately, I had another group of volunteers out to help with check dams.
We also put together gabions, which are rock cages designed to slow water and help it soak into the ground.
We found an ocotillo forest and shared a meal in camp. Chili pequins are really spicy!
In the next episode, I'll share some ideas from the military that will help me establish an off grid base camp without spending a fortune.
