native shrubs and trees that can help uh whatever plant you're growing uh grow better by keeping the the soil and water on your your land are great i think

Nate JonesGUEST
Um, one of the things we did that probably played the biggest role in our like watershed health stuff, um, was we, we implemented, um, like a key line design.

Nate JonesGUEST
Um, you're probably familiar with that from doing all the agricultural consulting stuff.

Nate JonesGUEST
So that's, um, our little main plot, like I'd call it like, um, like a little zone one zone two thing um that was where we went the heaviest in terms of like intervention um and we used like a compact excavator and did all like swales on contour and all that stuff um and that has been incredible like watching what has happened in response that's been nuts so we did it's it's in about a like a four acre area and it's got a little over a quarter mile of Depends what you're calling it.
