Established berms and swales, silvopasture and companion planting

4/27/17 This week at work…Symbiosis was asked to come back to a site in Waco, TX where we did a master design and install last year in which we added several thousand linear feet of berms and swales to reduce runoff and sink rainwater into the ground. We also added fruit and nut trees in a silvo pasture that is intended for future rotational grazing. We laid cardboard around many fruit and nut trees we planted to supress weed growth. After cardboarding mulch was added to help the trees retain moisture and support species such as flowering pollinators and alliums (pest deterrents) were planted near the trees to promote symbiotic relationships.
