RE: Quit My Six Figure Job To Grow A Food Forest
I thought permaculture used natural rainfall and rain traps only, and didn't use sprinkler systems?

You know, you're right. Eventually that irrigation won't be needed. But I'm on flat land so swales are not as effective as on a slope. The irrigation is to establish a cover crop. I'll explain in more detail in a future post so if you're into this kind of thing, follow me and watch for it.
You make a very good point and it deserves its own post as a response. When I post it, I'll add a link back to it from this reply.
