SOIL | Wild and Wooly Weirs
Brush Weirs… An easy, free and effective method for controlling erosion, allowing rain water to slow down and soak in. Brush weirs can be made with otherwise useless organic material, such as…
Pathetic scraps of lumber...
sticks too crooked for anything else...
Other organic material too big to compost
