Swale Evolution

Mar 2017 One season's evolution of a new set of swales in the Ozarks of Missouri. I am wrongly calling the yellow flower in the video echinacea but it is actually Rudbeckia amplexicaulis, "Clasping coneflower", I believe. There is a local Ozark echinacea that is yellow here. We seeded the berms with yarrow, sage, lemon balm, bee balm, and a coneflower mix. www.idlewoodfarm.com   / perimeterpermaculture
